Biological Oceanography

Biological oceanography is the study of life in the ocean, including the interactions between organisms, their environment, and the processes that control their abundance and distribution. The research in this field has potential applications for human activities such as marine resource management, conservation, biotechnology and fisheries management. Biological oceanography helps us to understand how marine ecosystems function, so that we can better manage our resources and protect our oceans. It also helps to inform us on topics such as climate change and population dynamics, in order to give us a better understanding of the whole picture.
