Marine ecosystem
Marine ecosystems
are among the largest of Earth's
aquatic ecosystems
,
salt marshes
,
intertidal zones
,
estuaries
,
lagoons
,
mangroves
,
coral reefs
, the
deep sea
, and the
sea floor
. They can be contrasted with
freshwater ecosystems
, which have a lower
salt
content. Marine waters cover two-thirds of the surface of the Earth. Such places are considered ecosystems because the plant life supports the animal life and vice versa. See
