Marine biology is a diverse science concerned with all aspects of plant and animal life in the sea. Marine biologists study the distribution‚ abundance and life histories of animals and plants in the sea and the way in which these are governed by environmental factors. The eventual aim of marine biology is to understand marine life and to ensure the production of food from the sea at a sustained level. The field of marine biology can be divided into research and technical work: Researchers

allow the seal harvest to continue as seal harvesting is essential in the prevention of suffering and torment of all marine life and humans. For instance‚ without the process of seal harvesting‚ the ecosystem will be out of balance‚ resulting in complete chaos. Researchers estimated that seals consumed about 3.5 million metric tonnes of marine species in Atlantic Canada‚ and marine animals that are preys of seals such as salmon are in a great decline in population in the past years. Therefore‚ the

Sea vitality may be the last researched for its potential. The sea is so tremendous and profound‚ up to this point‚ it was accepted that regardless of what number of chemicals or the amount of waste people dumped into the sea‚ the impacts would be irrelevant.

Seabirds‚ whales‚ sea turtles and other marine life are eating marine plastic pollution and dying from choking‚ intestinal blockage and starvation. Scientists are investigating the long-term impacts of toxic pollutants absorbed‚ transported‚ and consumed by fish and other marine life‚ including the potential
