An educator serving Climate courses covering the science, climate change and impacts, solutions, politics, finance, adaptation, mitigation and opinions.
Next up is Light Transmission into the ocean & photosynthesis. Primary production, its estimates, upper trophic levels, fisheries, overfishing & ghost fishing, etc.
climate change impacts are superposed on overfishing, acidification, coral bleaching, nutrient pollution.

Marine ecosystems choose different niches and we classify them as habitats - epipelagic, mesopelagic, benthic, coastal and so on. Chapter 12 also teaches us about adaptations such as camouflaging, osmosis, vertical migrations, etc. Some discussion on ocean pollution also

We now visit the coastal oceans or marginal seas in Chapter 11 of Introduction to Oceanography. We get to learn about various types of estuarine circulations and mixing as well wetlands and salt marshes. Marine pollution is a big issue and so are fisheries. #oceanography
