Marine Sciences

Marine Sciences is the scientific study of all organisms, processes and phenomena occurring in the oceans and coastal environments. Marine Sciences utilizes scientific principles and methods to understand marine organisms and ecosystems, as well as the physical and chemical processes occurring in the ocean. Marine Sciences also focuses on the sustainable management of marine resources, assessing the impacts of human activities, and developing strategies to restore and protect marine ecosystems. Through research, Marine Sciences advances our fundamental understanding of the world's oceans and coastal areas, and helps to ensure the responsible, sustainable use of ocean resources.
