Marine algae are typically found in coastal areas where sunlight can penetrate, such as intertidal zones, rocky shorelines, and shallow waters. They thrive in environments like coral reefs, kelp forests, and estuaries. Algae can also be found floating in the open ocean, especially in regions with nutrient-rich upwellings. Overall, their distribution depends on factors like light availability, water temperature, and nutrient levels.
Marine means of or pertaining to the sea. So you can find things marine in the ocean or at places that have things to do with the ocean.

red algae red algae contain a pigment r-phycoerythrin which absorbs blue light and reflects red light. blue light can penetrate deeper parts of sea than other lights of higher wavelengths. hence we find red algae in deep sea oceans

At the bottom of an ocean energy pyramid, you would typically find phytoplankton or algae, which are the primary producers that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. These organisms form the base of the marine food chain, providing energy to the rest of the ecosystem.
Many satellites swimming in the Indian Ocean.
Without marine algae to perform photosynthesis, the food chain at 200 meters below sea level would be severely impacted. Marine animals that rely on algae as a primary food source could struggle to find adequate nutrition. This could lead to changes in the abundance and diversity of species in this deep-sea ecosystem.
No. Platypuses live near freshwater creeks and rivers. They are not marine dwellers.
In the Southern Ocean you can find penguins, terns, albatross, skua and other types of marine birds, depending on where you are.
You don't find any algae growing much deeper than 60 feet (20 meters) because the light that is necessary for their growth is filtered out by the water. Algae, therefore, is found only near the surface.
Phytoplankton require sun and water to survive. They find these in a marine (ocean) envrironment.
