Marine refers to anything related to the sea or ocean. It can be associated with marine life, marine ecosystems, marine geology, marine weather, and marine activities such as marine transportation and marine engineering.

Marine Life[edit]

Marine life, also known as sea life or ocean life, refers to the plants, animals, and other organisms that live in the salt water of the sea or ocean. It includes a wide variety of organisms, from microscopic plankton to the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale.

Marine Ecosystems[edit]

Marine ecosystems are among the largest of Earth's aquatic ecosystems. They include oceans, seas, salt marshes, intertidal zones, estuaries, lagoons, mangroves, coral reefs, the deep sea, and the sea floor. These ecosystems are home to a diverse array of species and are a crucial part of the planet's hydrological cycle.

Marine Geology[edit]

Marine geology is the study of the history and structure of the ocean floor. It involves geophysical, geochemical, sedimentological and paleontological investigations of the ocean floor and coastal zone.

Marine Weather[edit]

Marine weather refers to the weather conditions in the sea and ocean. It is crucial for marine activities such as navigation, fishing, and offshore oil drilling.

Marine Transportation[edit]

Marine transportation is the shipping of goods and passengers by sea. It plays a vital role in the global economy as over 90% of the world's trade is carried by sea according to the International Maritime Organization.

Marine Engineering[edit]

Marine engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the ship's machinery. It includes the engineering of boats, ships, oil rigs and any other marine vessel or structure.
