seabed habitat

Seabed habitat refers to the environment on the ocean floor where different living organisms reside. It includes various features like sandy plains, rocky reefs, deep trenches, and mudflats, each supporting specific communities of plants, fish, invertebrates, and other marine life. These habitats provide shelter, breeding grounds, and sources of food. The type of seabed deeply influences the types of species that can live there and how the ecosystem functions. Protecting these habitats is essential for maintaining healthy oceans and the diversity of marine life.
