    The marine deep biome starts at about 100 feet deep in the ocean and ends at around 5000 feet. The location is slightly in between the euphotic and disphotic ocean zones. Because of the little light that enters the disphotic zone, the organisms there, rely on the zone above for food. In the upper part of the marine deep biome, photosynthesis occurs, allowing producers to thrive and eventually be eaten by lower located organisms. Some examples of producers that can be grown by process of photosynthesis

    Only 5% of the entire ocean has been explored. That number is so unbelievable because the earth is 71% water; it takes up most of the earth! Marine biology is the study of life in the oceans and other saltwater environments (Kahle). Marine biologists study saltwater plants, animals, habitats, and how all of those factors work together in harmony (Kahle). The ocean is more important than most people realize; it drives weather, regulates temperature, and, ultimately, supports all living organisms

    specific profession that I wanted to partake as an adult. I believe that becoming a marine biologist would be the best way to fulfill my dream. My strength and passion for science will naturally help me to be a strong and dedicated student to further my studies. I am hoping to pursue and minor in oceanography as well. I think oceanography would be an excellent minor to have—as a person that looks at the ocean as a marine wildlife sanctuary. This minor will advance the knowledge of a biologist to understand

    rate, there is not enough evidence to show significance of OA to marine biodiversity. He agrees with the position of Rockström et al. (2009), Turley & Gattuso (2012), Keller et al. (2009) and Veron (2008), which is that calcification is the most sensitive process responding directly to ocean acidification. However, he asserts that the warnings in the scientific community claiming that ocean acidification is a major threat to marine biodiversity has little experimental support (Hendriks & Duarte,

    al. 2008). These are put in place to ensure a limit in fishing and that the catch of the day is distributed according to the shares each person holds in a fishery. This policy will enable controlled fishing (Solliman, 2014). Endangered species of marine ecosystems can also be restored in an artificial way. This is a practice that ensures all species will coexist in many years to come. Through this practice different species are introduced in a new habitat. Here they are mingled with native species
