Abstract: The marine environment includes the waters of seas and estuaries, the seabed and its sub soils, and all marine wildlife and its coastal habitats. The marine environment is a vital resource for life on earth. It is a precious asset; a heritage that must be protected, conserved and properly valued. Marine ecosystems perform several key environmental functions; they regulate the climate, prevent erosion, accumulate and distribute solar energy, absorb carbon dioxide, and maintain biological control. The seas and oceans are our greatest source of biodiversity. They cover 71% of the earth’s surface and they contain 90% of the biosphere. The marine environment is also a great contributor to economic prosperity, social well-being and quality of life. About 70% of the oxygen we breathe comes from oceans and 90% of the carbon we produce ends up in oceans.
