Oceanographic Environment

Oceanographic ecology is concerned with environmental factors and problems of organic adjustments quite different from those in fresh water. Animals are relatively more conspicuous than plants. Distinct self-contained community units are more difficult to recognize in the sea than on land because of the apparently greater interrelation of benthic species and the free movement with circulating currents of plankton and nekton. Oceanographic environment in its all dimensions is thoroughly discussed in this book. The rich information contained in different chapters like-introduction; oceanographic environment; energy from the sea; marine resources; sea level rise; applied marine ecology; marine pollution; effects and control of marine pollution etc. will immensely benefit the readers.
