aquatic sciences

Aquatic sciences study the ecosystems, organisms, and environmental processes that occur in water environments like oceans, lakes, rivers, and wetlands. It explores how water systems function, how they support diverse life forms, and how human activities impact them. This field helps us understand water quality, marine and freshwater biodiversity, and the effects of climate change on water worlds. It combines biology, chemistry, geology, and ecology to address issues like pollution, conservation, and sustainable resource use, ultimately supporting the health of aquatic environments and the communities that depend on them.
