Yes, sediments do affect the ocean. There are a couple ways in which sediments affect the oceans. If too many sediments on the ocean floor get stirred up in the surface water it can potentially harm the water life by suffocating and killing the life. It can also make visibility worse and can harm commercial fishing corporations.

Marine life and oxygen for those organisms to survive ! And sediments, which are none living !
Chuck Norris
Two types of biogenous sediments are calcareous ooze and siliceous ooze.
Deposition of sediments in a marine environment (ocean or sea).
None. An Ocean is a Marine environment.

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).
over a very long time layers of these sediments hardened into a sedimentary rock called limestone
Marine life encompasses a wide array of organisms, so there is no single scientific name that covers all marine life. However, the study of marine life is known as marine biology.
The study of marine organisms is called as marine Biology. Hope this helps!
