This feat is to mechanically apply the following since it is not possible to create a new fighting style.
From Unearthed Arcana, Waterborne Adventures, 5/4/2015. Updated for Myuelta, 12/22/2023:
The following new option can be selected by fighters, paladins, and rangers for the Fighting Style class feature. Whether a buccaneer, an experienced sailor, or a specially trained marine, a mariner can scale a ship’s rigging and swim through choppy water with ease. They have adapted to fighting aboard ship and beneath the waves with a wide variety of melee weapons.
Mariner: As long as you are not wearing heavy armor or using a shield, you have a swimming speed and a climbing speed equal to your normal speed, and you no longer suffer disadvantage when making melee weapon attacks underwater.
