Ecosystems are organized to better understand the frame of reference in which they are being studied. They are organized from smallest to largest; organism, population, community, ecosystem.

Q. How is balance maintained in the environment?
How is a balance maintained in the environment? Answer: The living or biotic components (plants and animals) and the non-living or physical components (air, water, soil, light and temperature) interact and affect each other, resulting in the establishment of a complex and complete balance in the environment.
Q. What is the food chain in the marine ecosystem?
The marine ecosystem is made up of a complicated series interconnected energy producers—like plants and photoplankton—and consumers—from plant-eaters to meat-eaters, both great and small.
Q. What types of resources do humans get from the ocean?
Ocean resources provide jobs, goods and services for billions of people around the world and have immense economic importance. There resources include food, fuel, renewable energy, minerals, sand and gravel and tourism.
Q. What percentage of food comes from the ocean?
As food from the sea represents only 17% of the current production of edible meat, we ask how much food we can expect the ocean to sustainably produce by 2050.
Q. Why deep sea mining is bad?
Scraping and vacuuming the seafloor can destroy habitats and release plumes of sediment that blanket or choke filter-feeding species on the seafloor and fish swimming in the water column. Mining also introduces noise, vibration and light pollution in a zone that normally is silent, still and dark.
Q. Where does most of ocean pollution come from?
The majority of pollutants that make their way into the ocean come from human activities along the coastlines and far inland. One of the biggest sources of pollution is nonpoint source pollution, which occurs as a result of runoff.
Q. Which countries pollute the oceans most?
When the Environmental Protection Agency released its plan earlier this month for addressing marine litter, it named five Asian nations—China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam—as responsible for more than half of the plastic waste flowing into the oceans every year.
