The scope also encompasses the study of oceanographic processes such as currents, tides, and upwelling, as well as the impact of environmental factors like temperature, salinity, and ENSO events on these ecosystems. Additionally, research addresses coastal geomorphology, erosion, sedimentation, and the effects of anthropogenic activities and natural phenomena like tsunamis.
