The seabed is a mysterious and unexplored environment, home to various unique ecosystems and organisms adapted to extreme conditions such as high pressures and total darkness. Sea turtles, which migrate between feeding and nesting areas, play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, despite not living in the depths. Submarines and submersibles are essential for exploring these areas, allowing for the discovery of new species and the study of geological and biological processes. However, human activities such as pollution and overfishing threaten these ecosystems, highlighting the importance of conserving and protecting marine habitats.
