The oceans are of great ecological significance to have direct effect on global environment and human life; and of significant economic importance as the biggest storehouse of mineral, food and energy resources. This book entitled “Ocean and Coastal Ecology” under the series of 21st Century Biology and Agriculture has 10 chapters aimed to provide a clear understanding on scientific principles of marine ecology in order to manage the marine environment and its bio-resources in view of deterioration of marine ecosystems, natural calamities and climate change. This book would be of immense help to students, scholars and all others interested in marine ecology.
