Marine ecosystems are the largest aquatic systems on Earth, covering over 70% of the planet's surface and supporting a vast diversity of life. They include coastal habitats like coral reefs, mangroves, and kelp forests, as well as open ocean and deep-sea zones. These ecosystems provide essential services such as food, climate regulation, and coastal protection, but face serious threats from human activities.
