Why aquatic scientists look at systems in an integrative way
“When you think about land animals, they tend to be prisoners of topography and vegetation. But in the sea, it is really not the case. There is almost no barrier to fish moving around. They fly in the sea. Aquatic Scientists are thus confronted with this 3-D world and the physics and chemistry of that 3-D aquatic environment as a necessary component of how they understand the organisms that live in that environment,” stated Dr. Dave Preikshot.
