marine
(adjective)
Of, or pertaining to, the sea (marine biology, marine insurance).
Examples of marine in the following topics:
-
Marine Habitats
- The marine environment supplies many kinds of habitats that support marine life.
- The marine environment supplies many kinds of habitats that support life.
- Marine life partially depends on the saltwater that is in the sea ("marine" comes from the Latin "mare," meaning sea or ocean).
- Marine habitats can be modified by their inhabitants.
- Coral reefs provide marine habitats for tube sponges, which in turn become marine habitats for fishes.
-
Viral Roles in Ecosystems
- This is typified by the role of viruses in marine ecology.
- Viruses are the main agents responsible for the rapid destruction of harmful algal blooms, which often kill other marine life.
- Like any organism, marine mammals are susceptible to viral infections.
- As mentioned, marine viruses are mostly bacteriophages, or phages.
- This represents a fraction of the viral diversity seen in teaspoon of marine water.
-
Marine Biomes
- The ocean and coral reefs make up two types of marine biomes where organisms are influenced by depth and light availability.
- The ocean is the largest marine biome.
- Within the ocean, coral reefs are a second kind of marine biome.
- Nutrients are scarce in this less-productive part of the marine biome.
- Coral reefs are ocean ridges formed by marine invertebrates living in warm, shallow waters of the ocean.
-
Anoxic Hydrocarbon Oxidation
- Marine environments are especially vulnerable.
- Despite its toxicity, a considerable fraction of crude oil entering marine systems is eliminated by the hydrocarbon-degrading activities of microbial communities.
- Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a microbial process that occurs in anoxic marine sediments.
- It is estimated that almost 90% of all the methane that arises from marine sediments is oxidized anaerobically by this process.
- Describe the process of anoxic hydrocarbon oxidation in regards to marine environments

Mobilization and the Development of the West
- The Marine Corps created the Marine Corps Women's Reserve in 1943.
- Captain Anne Lentz was its first commissioned officer and Private Lucille McClarren its first enlisted woman; the first detachment of female marines was sent to Hawaii for duty in 1945.
- Marine women served stateside as clerks, cooks, mechanics, drivers, and in a variety of other positions.
- Marine Corps were women.
- Discuss women's increasing involvement in the army, air force, navy, marines, and coast guard, paying special attention to the involvement of women of color.
-
Changing Roles for Women
- The Marine Corps created the Marine Corps Women's Reserve in 1943.
- That year, the first female officer of the United States Marine Corps was commissioned, and the first detachment of female marines was sent to Hawaii for duty in 1945.
- The first director of the Marine Corps Women's Reserve was Mrs.
- Marine women served stateside as clerks, cooks, mechanics, drivers, and in a variety of other positions.
- Marine Corps were women.
-
Sea Coral and Sea Anemone Zooxanthellae
- Zooxanthellae refers to a variety of species that form symbiotic relationships with other marine organisms, particularly coral.
- Cnidarians that are associated with Symbiodinium occur mostly in warm oligotrophic (nutrient-poor) marine environments where they are often the dominant constituents of benthic communities.
-
Planctomycetes
- Planctomycetes are a phylum of aquatic bacteria and are found in samples of brackish, marine, and fresh water.
- They are found in samples of brackish, marine, and fresh water.
-
The Phosphorus Cycle
- Phosphorus is also reciprocally exchanged between phosphate dissolved in the ocean and marine ecosystems.
- A dead zone is an area within a freshwater or marine ecosystem where large areas are depleted of their normal flora and fauna.
- Phosphate dissolved in ocean water cycles into marine food webs.
- Some phosphate from the marine food webs falls to the ocean floor, where it forms sediment.
-
Psychrophilic Crenarchaeota
- Initially, the Crenarchaeota were thought to be sulfur-dependent extremophiles but recent studies have identified characteristic Crenarchaeota environmental rRNA indicating the organism may be the most abundant archaea in the marine environment.
- Beginning in 1992, data were published that reported sequences of genes belonging to the Crenarchaea in marine environments making these bacteria psychrophiles or cryophiles.
- Different microbes are responsible for each step in the marine environment.
- Several groups of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) are known in the marine environment, including Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira, and Nitrosococcus.
