One way scientists classify organisms is by the method of transportation used by the organism?
One way scientists classify organisms is by their method of obtaining energy and nutrients. This is known as their trophic level. For example, producers (plants, algae) are at the first level, primary consumers (herbivores) are at the second level, secondary consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores) are at the third level and so on. Another way is by their characteristics of movement, such as sessile and motile organisms.

How do marine animals live near the surface of the ocean?
Most organisms are either directly or indirectly dependent on photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process where plants use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars and oxygen. Most organisms, not only marine organisms are either herbivores or carnivores that feed on herbivores and herbivores need plants to feed. Since the surface zone of oceans and lakes is the layer where most of the sunlight frequencies still penetrate, it is there where most plants grow. Where there are many plants there are many herbivores that feed on plants and ultimately carnivores can live there, because this is where most of there prey can be found.
What is a marine ecologist?
Marine Ecology is the scientific study of marine-life habitat, populations, and interactions among organisms and the surrounding environment including their abiotic (non-living physical and chemical factors that affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce) and biotic factors (living things or the materials that directly or indirectly affect an organism in its environment).
