Marine and Aquatic Sciences Biological Oceanography

Biological Oceanography studies the vital marine organisms and processes which occur in the oceans. It includes the study of marine microorganisms, plants, animals, and the aquatic environment in which they live. Biological Oceanography examines how these organisms interact with each other and their environment, including their physical, chemical, and geological features. It is important for understanding how our ocean environment functions, how it supports the life within it, and how human activities are impacting it. This knowledge helps us to better protect and manage our marine resources and environment. Biological Oceanography is used to inform policies such as sustainable fisheries, conservation, and climate change adaptations.
