Marine Biology
Marine Biology is the scientific study of animals, plants and other organisms that live in the ocean. About 71% of the surface of this planet is covered by salt water. On an average the ocean water depth is 3.8 km that is about 2.4 miles or 12,500 feet, with a volume of about 1,370 x 106 km3. Since life exists throughout this immense volume, the oceans constitute the single largest repository of organisms on the planet. These organisms include members of virtually all phyla and are tremendously varied.
