BIOLOGICAL ECOSYSTEMS AND MARINE FAUNA

Abstract

Biological ecosystems and marine fauna represent vital components of global biodiversity. These ecosystems play essential roles in regulating biogeochemical processes, providing habitats and food resources to numerous species. The review addresses the dynamics of marine ecosystems, their structure and functions, highlighting the interdependence between organisms and their environment. In this sense, the impacts of climate change, pollution and human exploitation on the health and resilience of these ecosystems are explored. Under this premise, recent studies are analyzed that demonstrate the recovery capacity of certain species and the importance of marine protected areas. The conservation and sustainable management of marine ecosystems are priority issues to guarantee the continuity of ecosystem services. Conservation strategies, such as the creation of marine reserves and the restoration of critical habitats, are reviewed, as well as the need for integrated policies and international cooperation. In addition, technological innovations in the monitoring and study of marine fauna are discussed, which provide valuable data for decision making. Taken together, this review article offers a comprehensive perspective on the challenges and opportunities in the conservation of marine biological ecosystems, highlighting the need for holistic and collaborative approaches to preserve biodiversity and maintain the functionality of these vital systems.

Keywords: Ecosystems, marine fauna, biodiversity.
