because it is the home of many marine animals
Marine biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms in the ocean, including fish, marine mammals, corals, algae, and invertebrates. It is important for maintaining ecosystem balance, supporting commercial fisheries, and providing valuable ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling. However, marine biodiversity is increasingly threatened by factors like overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change.

At present, many coral reefs not only in our country but also in other parts of the world are being destroyed. How?1. The reefs are being mined to be used as building materials.2. Some reefs are being buried in silt because of the erosion of mountains and hills.3. Reefs are polluted by sewage that is drained into the sea.4. Fishermen use dynamite to blow up coral reefs so that they will have more fish to catch. Some use muro-ami, a destructive method of catching fish. Cyanide Fishing contributes to the death of corals.5. any people break up corals and sell the pieces to tourists and other people who use these as decorations in their homes.

well, there a lots of reasons that cause loss of marine biodiversity, some of the main ones would be climate change, another is coastal development as it disrupts natural cycles between the wind and sea, as well as stressing marine resources in those areas. Also, pollution causes loss of biodiversity as it destroys habitats and some species, and keep in mind that marine life is like a cycle, u take away one element and all the other elements fall to peices. Overfishing is also a major reason.
The marine life is important. It should be protected. There has been a rapid increase in the loss of marine biodiversity and habitat degradation. Water pollution including oil spill is a threat. There should have a safe breeding grounds for fish and other marine species.
There is a greater variety of producers, habitats, and nursery areas.
India has a vast marine biodiversity. Its coastal areas have a flourishing coral ecosystem with a wide variety of marine animals such as the big manta, surgeon fish, angelfish, anemones and lobsters. The Gulf of Mannar is a famous marine national park and is known as the biologists' paradise.
