Marine ecoregions are distinct geographic areas of the ocean that exhibit similar ecological characteristics, including types of marine habitats, species composition, and environmental conditions. These regions are defined based on biological, physical, and chemical factors, and they help in understanding marine biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and conservation needs. Marine ecoregions can encompass a wide range of environments, including coastal areas, continental shelves, deep-sea regions, and oceanic waters.
