I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'marine' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a force in extreme environment' is the wordplay.
'force' becomes 'F' (symbol used in Physics e.g. f=ma).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'extreme environment' becomes 'searing' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'f'='af'
'af' going within 'searing' is 'SEAFARING'.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seafaring that I've seen before include "Just like Jack" , "Travelling the ocean" , "Travelling by ship" , "ocean travel" , "Sailor's way of life" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
