Gulf Biodiversity

Gulf biodiversity refers to the variety of plant and animal life found in the Gulf region, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding areas. This rich ecosystem includes marine species like fish, dolphins, and sea turtles, as well as coastal habitats like mangroves and wetlands. Biodiversity is crucial because it supports ecological balance, helps sustain fisheries, and protects coastal areas from erosion. However, it faces threats from pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction. Protecting Gulf biodiversity is essential for maintaining the health of the environment and the livelihoods of communities that depend on it.
