What is marine biology?

 Marine biology is the study of marine organisms and ocean life. All plant and animal life forms are included from the microscopic picoplankton all the way to the majestic blue whale. Which is also the largest creature in the sea. The habitats studied in marine biology include everything from the tiny layers of surface water in which organisms and abiotic items may be trapped in surface tension between the ocean and atmosphere, to the 10,000 meters or more beneath the surface of the ocean.
