Marine science is a specialized field that focuses on the study of ocean and coastal ecosystems, including the study of marine organisms, physical and chemical properties of seawater, and the global oceanic and atmospheric systems. It is an interdisciplinary field that incorporates biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and other scientific disciplines. Marine scientists conduct research to better understand the marine environment, support conservation and management efforts, and develop innovative approaches to addressing environmental challenges. Due to the complexity of the marine environment, marine science requires specialized skills and equipment, as well as a deep understanding of the interactions between different oceanic and atmospheric processes.
