Marine Biology: A derivative of the Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences
Marine Biology is a derivative of the Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences, 2nd Edition and serves as an important reference on current knowledge and expertise in one convenient and accessible source. Its selection of articles-all written by experts in their field-focuses not only on a broad variety of plant and animal species but they also refer to diverse aspects of their physical, chemical and human environment.
This glossary aims to clarify a wide range of terms used in multilateral meetings and conferences. The definitions provided reflect current usage, which is not necessarily consistent from one organization or context to another. Some terms may also have an everyday meaning not given here, and some have particular meanings in international law, which the glossary does not purport to cover in detail.
