Marine Biology

Marine Biology is the study of marine organisms, their behaviors, and their interactions with the environment. To understand marine organisms and their behaviors completely, marine biologists must have a basic understanding of other aspects or "disciplines" of oceanography, such as chemical oceanography, physical oceanography, and geological oceanography.
