Description: Marine biodiversity refers to the variety of life found in oceanic ecosystems, ranging from microorganisms to large marine mammals. This concept includes genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity that develop in the world’s oceans and seas. Marine biodiversity is crucial for the balance of ecosystems, as each species plays a specific role in its habitat, contributing to environmental stability and resilience. Furthermore, oceans are responsible for climate regulation, oxygen production, and carbon dioxide absorption, making them an essential component for the planet’s sustainability. The richness of marine biodiversity also holds intrinsic value, representing a natural heritage that must be protected and conserved. However, this biodiversity faces significant threats, such as pollution, climate change, overexploitation of resources, and habitat destruction, highlighting the need to implement technologies and sustainable practices that promote the conservation and responsible use of marine resources.
