Marine life is an incredibly diverse and complex ecosystem that covers over 70% of the Earth's surface. Marine species range from microscopic plankton to giant whales, and include a wide variety of fish, invertebrates, reptiles, mammals and birds. The ocean provides food for many people around the world as well as habitats for numerous species. It also plays a vital role in regulating climate by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and producing oxygen through photosynthesis. Marine ecosystems are also home to coral reefs which provide shelter for many species while providing important economic benefits to coastal communities through tourism and fishing. Protecting marine life is essential in order to maintain healthy ocean environments that can support both human activities and wildlife populations.
