Abstract

The marine environment plays a crucial role in sustaining global biodiversity, climate regulation, and economic activities. Over the past few decades, marine science has undergone significant advancements, from deep-sea exploration to biotechnology applications. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of oceanic biodiversity, the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems, and emerging conservation strategies. We discuss the growing threats posed by ocean acidification, rising temperatures, and habitat destruction, along with innovative approaches in marine biotechnology and sustainable resource utilization. Additionally, we highlight the role of policy frameworks, technological advancements, and interdisciplinary research in promoting ocean conservation. This review aims to bridge knowledge gaps and emphasize the urgency of preserving marine ecosystems for future generations.
