sea life
Marine organisms collectively
Sea life refers to organisms that live in the ocean—fish, mammals, invertebrates, plants, and microorganisms.
The term encompasses everything from whales to plankton: The coral reef teems with sea life.
It often appears in conservation contexts: Oil spills devastate sea life.
An aquarium or nature center may be called a sea life center.
