Diversity of the Marine World

It is a known fact that about three-fourth of the surface of this earth is covered by large water bodies including oceans, lakes and ponds. Many animals, plants and other organisms live in the oceans and significant contributions are made by these marine organisms to the oxygen cycle and in regulating the climate of the Earth.

Diversity of marine life has been studied by the human-beings quite intensively. Ranging from microscopic organisms like phytoplankton to the huge whales, all varieties of animals like seabirds, fish, invertiberates, mammal and reptiles have fallen into the ambit of human quest. They have not been found lacking in their inquisitiveness towards the other creatures like fungi, plants and algae and the marine habitats like reefs.

Peeping into the marine world containing the large proportions of life, therefore, can be a thrilling experience.
