marine ecosystem health

Marine ecosystem health refers to the overall well-being of ocean environments, including the diversity and abundance of plants, animals, and microorganisms, and their ability to function naturally. A healthy marine ecosystem sustains life, provides resources like food and oxygen, and supports economic activities such as fishing and tourism. It depends on clean water, balanced populations, and minimal human impact. When ecosystems are healthy, they are resilient to stresses like pollution and climate change. Maintaining marine health is essential for the planet’s balance and for ensuring that oceans continue to thrive for future generations.
