Things You do as a Marine Biologist
A typical day includes a lot of time on the water. You would take a boat out to a reef or a animal sighting (dolphins, whales, sharks) and record the time of day, temperature of the air and water, and what animal your are recording. After doing that, you would most likely dive in the water and have a close up view. You could possibly touch and use your other senses to document the facts about that animal. If you didn't dive, you would probably catch the fish and bring it on board (this is more for the smaller fish and animals). Once your samples, observations, and recordings are finished, you head back to shore to use different instruments. This includes using microscopes and tests on your samples. Then you write down what you have. After that, your day is done.
