Marine wildlife refers to the diverse array of living organisms that inhabit the oceans and other bodies of saltwater. This includes species from various taxonomic groups, such as fish, mammals (like whales and dolphins), birds (like seabirds), invertebrates (such as jellyfish and octopuses), and a wide variety of algae and marine plants. Marine wildlife plays a crucial role in ocean ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity, food chains, and various ecological functions.
These organisms are adapted to life in saltwater environments and exhibit a wide range of behaviors, adaptations, and physiological features suited to their habitats. Marine wildlife can be found in different ecological zones, from coastal areas and coral reefs to deep ocean trenches. The study and conservation of marine wildlife are vital due to the impacts of human activities, such as overfishing, pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction, which threaten many marine species and ecosystems. Conservation efforts aim to protect marine wildlife and their habitats to maintain healthy ocean ecosystems.
