I invite you to explore the depths of Marine Biology and find out more about marine species , ocean conservation , and marine life.

The ocean gives us life. It provides the majority of our oxygen, the rain, food, excitement, wonder, and mystery.   The ocean buffers the weather and helps regulate gshapeimage_.pnglobal temperature , manages vast amounts of our pollutants , contains all kinds of amazing creatures , and supports all life on our planet. But—the ocean is just now beginning to be understood and with that understanding comes the increasing realMarineBioLogo.jpegization that the ocean is in deep trouble:-( shapeimage_2.png

Since 2008
