This interdisciplinary field studies everything from the biochemical and cellular levels to entire ecosystems and the biosphere, including the influence of factors such as salinity, temperature and currents, as well as human impact. Key areas of study include marine biodiversity, human impact, fisheries, and the role of marine life in global cycles such as carbon and oxygen. What marine ecology does Interactions of organisms: How different marine organisms interact, including predator-prey and symbiotic relationships. Population dynamics: The occurrence, abundance and demography (birth and death rates) of individual marine species. Community structure: Composition and interactions of multiple species within a community. Ecosystem processes: The flow of energy and cycling of matter (like the carbon cycle) in marine environments. Biotic and abiotic factors: The living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components that affect marine life, such as sunlight, pressure, temperature and water chemistry. Human impacts: The effects of human activities on marine ecosystems, such as fishing, pollution and climate change. Importance of marine ecology Oxygen production: Marine organisms are the main source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Climate regulation: Marine life plays a key role in regulating the Earth's climate. Economic resources: Provides valuable resources such as food (fish and shellfish), medicines and raw materials for industry. Coastal protection: Marine ecosystems such as coral reefs and mangroves help protect coastlines and build land. Start online today and earn your SSI Marine Ecology specialization certificate.

You'll also learn about signaling with a rope, the use of ice screws, the basic nautical knots used in diving and the use of a reel for autoranging. *Of course, to make sure you're doing everything correctly, you'll need proper training under the guidance of an instructor before your first solo ice dive. Diving without specialized training is incompatible with good diving practice as well as diving safety regulations *Definition of ice diving ; Ice diving (or maybe ice diving) - is one of the most attractive ways to dive in our Polish lakes (during the winter the visibility is best can reach up to 20m). Attractive and at the same time demanding, it requires careful planning starting from the assembly of the group, through the preparation and configuration of equipment to select a dive site and make an icebreak, and ending with the proper conduct of the dive. *Safety rules for diving under ice ; The safety rule has been developed by experienced divers to make diving under ice safe. When we break them we expose ourselves to additional danger, including loss of life. Diving is safe if we follow the following rules: * divers dive on a belay rope * recommended rope with a diameter of 10mm, and strength of at least 300kg, * the length of the rope is not more than 30-40m, * at the end of the rope there is a belayer, the belayer all the time maintains contact with divers, by properly tensioning the rope, in an emergency situation divers return to the icebreak, all problems are solved in the icebreak,in case of emergency, the belaying team is able to pull divers back to the ice gap within 1-2minutes, * the belaying rope between divers and belaying team must be straight (it can not be hooked anywhere) if we have a doubt whether the belaying rope is not hooked - we return to the ice gap, divers dive in pairs (partner diving), each diver has a harness, worn under the BCD. * the belay rope is clipped to the harness with a carabiner or tied with an appropriate knot * the knots used: recommended - double figure eight, another - rescue knot * the connection of the harness with must be secure, to prevent spontaneous detachment we use carabiners with security or in the absence of them two carabiners. - Failure to comply with the above rules exposes us to additional danger, which may in practice result in a serious accident, including loss of life. *The course of ice diving consists of the following topics: Definition of ice diving Safety rules of ice diving Ice - types, properties Selection of the dive site Tools for making the ice break Making the ice break and disposal after the dive.
