Aquatic Habitat

An aquatic habitat refers to environments where water is the primary medium supporting life. These habitats can be freshwater, like rivers and lakes, or saltwater, such as oceans and seas. Aquatic habitats are home to a diverse range of organisms, including fish, plants, microorganisms, and other animals. They play a crucial role in the Earth's ecosystems, providing food, oxygen, and shelter. Factors like water temperature, depth, and salinity influence the types of life that can thrive there. Protecting these habitats is vital for maintaining biodiversity and overall environmental health.
