An Introduction to Marine Science

---

An Introduction to Marine Science is a foundational university‑level textbook designed for students beginning the study of the marine environment. The book provides an integrated overview of physical, chemical, geological, and biological processes in the oceans, emphasizing how these systems interact.
The second edition expanded and reorganized earlier content to reflect advances in marine research, including satellite oceanography, hydrothermal vent discoveries, seabed resources, marine pollution, and maritime law. The text covers major marine environments such as the pelagic zone, benthic habitats, intertidal regions, estuaries, tropical inshore systems, and human use of the oceans.
Richly illustrated, the book is known for its clear diagrams and concise explanations, making it suitable for undergraduate students in marine biology, oceanography, and environmental science, as well as professionals seeking a broad introduction to marine systems.
