Natural Aquatic Ecosystems

Natural aquatic ecosystems are environments in water bodies like lakes, rivers, ponds, and oceans where a variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms live and interact. These ecosystems depend on the flow of nutrients, light, and oxygen to support life. They provide vital services such as clean water, fish for food, and habitats for numerous species. Natural aquatic ecosystems are delicate balances shaped by natural processes, and they play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the planet. Protecting them ensures biodiversity and the sustainability of water resources for all living beings.
