seabed environment

The seabed environment refers to the natural terrain and ecosystems found on the ocean floor. It includes features like sediments, rocks, and various habitats such as coral reefs and deep-sea trenches. The seabed supports diverse marine life, provides resources like minerals and fossil fuels, and plays a vital role in global processes like carbon cycling. It is affected by natural factors like currents and sediments and human activities such as fishing, drilling, and pollution. Understanding this environment is crucial for protecting marine biodiversity and managing ocean resources sustainably.
