Marine Conservation

Preserving the marine life of the Pacific Basin

Introduction to Marine Conservation Marine Conservation events in Hawaii and around the Pacific Basin

Marine conservation is the practice of preserving marine environments and marine life. Marine environments are very complex. They involve a variety of organisms, from single celled and other microscopic plants and animals to large multicellular plants and animals. Furthermore, the chemical composition of the water, the depth, the temperature, the amount of sunlight all has an effect on the environment. Near-shore environments are very different from deep sea environments, for example. But deep sea environments are also very different from the surface environments that are hundreds of feet directly above them.

Marine conservation tends to focus on conserving the plant and animal life of the oceans, because it is easy for humans to keep track of hard-to-see changes in temperature or salinity by monitoring the health of the plants and animals that live in the environment. If they start getting sick, something must be wrong. When we know something is wrong, we can investigate the cause. Over the years of investigation, we can build large collections of data. Then scientists can use the data to see trends, such as temperature cycles that affect everything from the plants and animals to the weather. More?
