Maritime Geography is the study of the world's oceans, seas, and coastal areas, focusing on their physical features, human interactions, and ecological systems. It examines how these water bodies influence climate, trade routes, and the distribution of marine resources. This field also explores the impact of human activities, such as shipping, fishing, and tourism, on marine environments. By understanding ocean currents, tides, and coastal erosion, maritime geographers help manage and protect vital marine ecosystems while promoting sustainable practices in maritime industries.
