Welcome to MarineBio!

The ocean gives us life. It provides the majority of our oxygen, the rain, food, excitement, wonder, and mystery. The ocean buffers the weather and helps regulate global temperature, manages vast amounts of our pollutants, contains all kinds of amazing creatures, and supports all life on our planet. But—the ocean is just now beginning to be understood and with that understanding comes the increasing realization that the ocean is in deep trouble. Marine conservation efforts are simply overwhelmed by the number and scale of the problems the ocean faces.

MarineBio is here to call attention to marine conservation issues and the many efforts underway to address them, provide the information necessary to inspire action, and support, in as many ways as possible, the solutions needed to restore and protect the ocean for marine life and ultimately ourselves.

MarineBio began as an evolving online tribute to ocean life and an introduction to marine biology and marine conservation. MarineBio is now a nonprofit organization staffed by volunteer marine biologists, students, professors, and conservation advocates working to share the wonders of the ocean realm inspiring marine science education, research, and a sea ethic.

We invite you to explore the depths of MarineBio and find out more about marine species, ocean conservation, marine life and conservation research, and become a MarineBio Society member.
