MARINE ECOSYSTEM
UNIVESITY OF EDUCATION
LAHORE PAKISTAN
DEFINITION
• SEA/OCEAN WATER ECOSYSTEM
• MARINE WATER ECOSYSTEM
• WATER WITH HIGH SALT CONCENTRATION
• NaCl (SODIUM CHLORIDE)
MARINE ECOSYSTEMS
• oceans, coral reefs and estuaries
• oceans are the world's largest
ecosystems
• are considered to cover the shore as
far as tidal waters come in
MARINE ECOSYTEMS
• marshes,
• tidal zones,
• estuaries,
• the mangrove forest,
• lagoons,
• sea grass beds,
• the sea floor, and
• the coral reefs
BIOTIC FACTORS
• Biotic factors include plants, animals,
fungi, algae, and bacteria
ABIOTIC FACTORS
• Abiotic factors include
• sunlight,
• temperature,
• moisture,
• wind or water currents,
• soil type, and
• nutrient availability
ZONES/LAYERS OF MARINE ECOSYSTEM
IMPORTANCE
• Healthy marine ecosystems important for
society since
• they provide services including food
security, feed for livestock ,
• raw materials for medicines,
• building materials from coral rock and
• sand, and natural defenses against hazards
such as coastal erosion and inundation.
• Marine ecosystems are an important part of
the world, because the marine
ecosystems give
• marine life such as: tiny plankton, fish,
crustaceans,invertebrates,reptiles, marine M
ammals, sharks, and rays a place to live and
survive. It also gives those marine animals a
place to hunt.
BIODIVERSITY
• Fish - Sharks, swordfish, tuna, clown
fish, grouper, stingray, flatfish, eels,
rockfish, seahorse, sunfish mola, and
gars.
• Marine mammals - Blue whales, seals,
walruses, dolphins, manatees, and
otters.
