Marine Mammalogy

Marine mammalogy is the scientific study of mammals that live in ocean environments, such as whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, and manatees. It explores their biology, behavior, ecology, and how they interact with their ecosystems. This field helps us understand their roles in marine habitats, their adaptations for aquatic life, and the challenges they face from human activities and environmental changes. By studying marine mammals, scientists aim to conserve these species and maintain healthy ocean ecosystems for the future.
