Each is interesting in its own way. I have decided to narrow the marine biome down and focus on the Pacific Ocean. I am interested to see how these two compare and contrast. Although it may seem that our climate does not affect the marine biome‚ it does. During El Nino‚ the trade winds slacken and sometimes even change direction.

[pic] Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine or brackish bodies of water. Given that in biology many phyla‚ families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land‚ marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy. Marine biology differs from marine ecology as marine ecology is focused on how organisms interact with each other and the environment‚ and biology is the study of the organisms

Some of the many adaptations the starfish has are the adaptation to re-grow after an attack‚ use their feet to move along the ocean‚ locate prey by their light-sensing eyespots‚ eat large quantities of food‚ and their physical structure to protect them from predators by camouflage and bright colors. In the ocean‚ starfish are able to grow almost

from the ocean. The answer to this question is yes‚ sharks are a very vital aspect to the ocean. Sharks are so important because they balance the ocean’s ecosystem. All organisms in the ecosystem are dependent upon one another to maintain a balance. If sharks disappeared‚ so would this community in the ocean. Another thing to consider is how bad the food chain would be mixed up if sharks were not present in the oceans. Sharks are very essential when it comes to their role in the ocean environment
