Popis: The ocean is a complex three-dimensional world covering approximately 71% of the Earth’s surface offering a huge potential of new discoveries in all the fields of science. The hope is that these discoveries, if adequately supported and implemented, could lead to the finding of sustainable solutions inspiring new technologies and growth strategies. The continuous discovery of new species and their interactions, the increasing understanding of the complex connection between biodiversity and ecosystems functioning, and the dramatic relation between the loss of biodiversity and the spreading of non-indigenous species are clearly stating the importance to strengthen the effort on marine biology studies. The growing interest of young generations on these topics is ultimately confirming this urgent need.
