Abstract

Genetic diversity plays a critical role in the health and resilience of marine species, influencing their ability to adapt to changing environments, recover from disturbances, and maintain ecosystem stability. This article explores the importance of genetic diversity in marine ecosystems, the factors that threaten it, and the implications for conservation and sustainability. By integrating genetic research into marine management practices, we can enhance the effectiveness of conservation efforts and promote the long-term sustainability of marine resources. Strategies for preserving genetic diversity, including habitat protection, sustainable fishing practices, and the establishment of marine protected areas, are discussed.
