Marine biofilms are globally ubiquitous surface-associated microbial communities that have gained increasing attention due to their distinctive structure and functions. The aim of this study is provide a comprehensive overview the current scientific understanding, with specific focus on naturally occurring develop diverse marine abiotic surfaces, including microplastics, seafloor sediments, subsurface particles, submerged artificial structures susceptible biocorrosion biofouling induced by biofilms. This article presents recent advancements discoveries concerning diversity, structure, function, dynamics these in environment, highlighting ecological biogeochemical dimensions, while also serving as an inspiration for further investigations into
