Special Issue on Marine Biodiversity

The oceans of the world encompass 70% of the earth’s surface area. Marine biodiversity and ecosystems are essential to the functioning of earth's surface and atmosphere inhabited by living things and thus to the well-being of humans. Ocean and coastal marine ecosystems provide a wide range of goods and services that are rudimentary to human health and welfare. Marine biodiversity sustains the functioning of marine ecosystems and the services that it provides. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of marine Biodiversity.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore marine Biodiversity. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:
