 Marine biology is the systematic study of marine life, organisms in the sea. Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that animate in the sea and others that animate on land, marine biology categorizes species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy. A large amount of all life on Earth lives in the ocean. The exact size of this large amount is unknown, since many ocean species are still to be discovered. The ocean is a compound three-dimensional world covering approximately 71% of the Earth's surface. The habitats deliberate in marine biology include everything from the tiny layers of surface water in which organisms and abiotic objects may be trapped in surface tension between the marine and atmosphere, to the depths of the oceanic trenches, sometimes 10,000 meters or more beneath the surface of the ocean. Specific territories include coral reefs, kelp forests, seagrass meadows, the surrounds of seamounts and thermal vents, tidepools, muddy, sandy and rocky bottoms, and the open ocean (pelagic) zone, where solid objects are infrequent and the surface of the water is the only visible boundary.
