Marine conservation aims to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of marine ecosystems and the species that inhabit them.

Climate change and ocean acidification, caused by increased carbon dioxide levels, are the primary threats to coral reefs, leading to coral bleaching and reduced reef resilience.

Catch and release is a fishing practice where fish are caught and then returned to the water, often used for recreational fishing or to protect certain species.

Blue whales are known for their long migrations, covering thousands of kilometers, and their complex social behavior, including intricate vocalizations.

Marine protected areas are designated areas of the ocean where human activities are restricted or prohibited to protect and conserve marine ecosystems and species.

Oysters are filter feeders that play a vital role in maintaining water quality by filtering large volumes of water and removing pollutants and particles.

Adaptation refers to the process by which marine organisms adjust and evolve over time to better suit their changing environment.

Jellyfish are known for their ability to produce light through bioluminescence, a process that generates light through chemical reactions.

Bycatch reduction refers to the implementation of techniques and strategies to minimize the capture of non-target species during fishing operations.

Octopuses are known for their ability to change their color and texture to blend in with their surroundings, providing them with camouflage from predators.

Migration refers to the movement of marine organisms from one location to another, often over long distances, in response to environmental cues or seasonal changes.

Stonefish are known for their venomous spines, which can deliver a potent venom that causes severe pain and can even be fatal to humans.

Aquaculture refers to the farming of marine organisms, such as fish, shellfish, or algae, in a controlled environment, often for commercial purposes.

Sharks are known for their ability to navigate using the Earth's magnetic field, allowing them to travel long distances and find their way back to their home range.

Marine ranching involves the release of hatchery-raised fish into the wild to supplement natural populations and enhance fisheries.
