Marine areas refer to regions of the ocean that are defined by specific ecological, geographical, or legal characteristics. These areas can include coastal zones, open ocean, and deep-sea environments. They are crucial for biodiversity, supporting a wide range of marine life, including fish, mammals, and coral reefs. Marine areas are often managed through various conservation efforts to protect ecosystems and resources. This includes the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs), which restrict human activities to preserve habitats and species. Effective management helps maintain the health of the ocean and its ability to provide resources for future generations.
