Ocean and Coastal Science

Ocean and Coastal Science studies the environment of the world's oceans and coastlines, including their ecosystems, biology, chemistry, and physical processes. It explores how ocean currents, weather, and human activities influence marine life and coastal regions. This science helps us understand issues like climate change, pollution, and sea level rise, aiming to protect and sustainably manage these vital areas. By examining interactions between land, water, and air, scientists develop strategies to preserve ocean health, support coastal communities, and ensure the resilience of marine ecosystems for future generations.
