Marine Invertebrate Zoology

Marine Invertebrate Zoology is the scientific study of animals without backbones that live in the ocean, such as mollusks, crustaceans, worms, and sea stars. It explores their biology, behavior, evolution, and ecological roles, helping us understand how these diverse creatures adapt and thrive in marine environments. This field is crucial for marine conservation, understanding biodiversity, and addressing challenges like habitat loss and climate change. By studying marine invertebrates, scientists gain insights into the health of ocean ecosystems and how to protect them for future generations.
