Marine decomposers

Marine decomposers are tiny organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down dead organic material in the ocean. They play a crucial role in recycling nutrients, helping to convert complex dead matter into simpler substances that become part of the ocean's nutrient cycle. These decomposers operate at the microscopic level, decomposing things like dead plants, animals, and other organic debris, ensuring that nutrients are reused and not accumulated. Their activity supports the health of marine ecosystems by maintaining clean environments and facilitating the growth of new marine life.
