Marine Biologist
Acording to the Marine Science Institute, A Marine Biologist is a scientist who studies the life of aquatic plants and animals in the oceans, their behaviors, and interaction with their environment. Due to it being a big field, many scientist cover a certain area. I plan on hopefully covering Large aquatic animals.
What they Do
*Observe marine plants and animals in their natural environment.
*Identify, classify and preserve different types of marine life.
*Estimate population growth and life expectancy.
*Plan and run field studies and experiments.
*Report the results of their studies in papers for science journals and in commercial reports.

How to Become a Marine Biologist
Becoming a marine biologist is difficult but at the end it is worth it. When starting out, most marine biologist work at least forty to fifty hours or more. You must take mathematics (up to calculus), computer, technical/electrical, physics, chemistry, engineering and maybe typing skills too. In order to become a marine biologist you need to complete a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in marine biology, marine science, marine environment, Antarctic science or a related field at a university.
