Marine Biology is focused on many different aspects, giving a variety of different jobs and different pay. There are many locations for this job, ranging from exotic islands in the pacific to the San Diego Maine Center, to South Carolina. Most people only pick one type of focus in this field. There is a huge diversity of the types of jobs you can choose to work for, such as working in a laboratory to learn about ocean organisms and how they react with one another or you can study the potential pharmaceutical products given to us from the ocean. Overall this field of work doesn’t require a specific set of tools because of the variety of different jobs (Marine Biologists Salary).There has been an increasing in the demand of marine biologists …show more content…
Biological oceanography studies marine species as well, but in the context of oceanography, whereas marine biology studies the ocean along with different salt-water environments. Although there is a difference between these two terms they are usually easily interchangeable. Marine biology requires many different fields of science, including astronomy, biological oceanography, cellular biology, chemistry, ecology, geology, meteorology, molecular biology, physical oceanography and zoology (Marine Life). There are numerous colleges that are recognized for their excellent marine biology courses, such as: Boston University, Duke University, Eckerd College, Oregon State University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Tampa, University of Hawaii Hilo, University of Maine, University of New England and University of New Hampshire (Wiki Professional). These colleges range from all over the country, making resources accessible. Choosing which college to attend can be very difficult to do, so that’s why an article from National Geographic says, “[Marine biology] includes many different sub-disciplines and, consequently, an array of potential career directions. Would you like to be a microbiologists, an aquarist, a behavioral ecologist, a system analyst, a geneticist, a professor, or perhaps some combination of these? There are many roads to choose from and many organizations that hire marine biologists, so having a fairly precise idea of what you would like to do is an important first step in the right direction”
Seaworld is a giant marine life theme park. The greatest attraction to these many theme park would be those killer whales. In fact, these killer whales are the face of the park. As gigant as these mammals are, seaworld is keeping them in some pretty tight quarters. Mr. Jett and Mr.Ventre says “Wild killer whales can swim a hundred miles daily as they socialize, forage, communicate, and breed. In stark contrast, with little horizontal or vertical space in their enclosures, captive orcas swim only limited distances, with most spending many hours surface resting.” The animals don't have the freedom they need. Also when taking the whales out of their natural habit the whales tend to be depressed and not as heath in that situation. They need their freedom in the big ocean blue. Bring them into the small living units, breeding whales in captivity all for the entertainment of humans. At young ages the calves are taken away from their mothers on to a new seaworld park. Mothers of the calves have even been seen denying their offspring.

...ms within. I grew up on the lake, so water will and has always been a part of my life. I go to the beach almost every year, so I am frequently involved with the ocean life as well. My dad is a fisherman; he has been to many places and shown me many unique animals he has caught. I feel that it would be the most interesting job to have because there is a huge ocean to explore. Another awesome part of the job would be the idea of always learning new things about the fish. It would never turn into that job that has the same old routine because discoveries are still being made. The only down side to being a marine biologist is constantly smelling like a fish and dealing with the rather large fish that could endanger my life. But every job is going to have a down side, if these two are the only downsides to having this job, then I would have no problem conquering my fear.
As one develops knowledge of this career it is essential to have an understanding for what it is regarding. Zoology is a branch of biology that concerns the study of animal life (Zoology). Animals, in this frame of reference, are any living organisms that are not fungi, plants, viruses or bacteria. Animals include creatures like marine sponges, jellyfish, frogs, worms, rock lobsters, snails, insects, birds, fishes and mammals (Types of Zoologists Z). Zoology has evolved into a different study as it now consists of psychology and ecology; where as it use to only concentrate on the structures and function of the cell (Zoology). Zoology applying ideas and techniques to life processes has not only grouped together different fields, but also created connections to other science fields; it allows animal’s relationships with each other and its environment to be explained more easily (Hanson). Zoology embodies organizations that carry groups of individuals that are educated in an equivalent field. The Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) is the most substantial membership group for zoology majors. The AZA has over 6,000 members worldwide at professional levels. Also, The Zoological Association of America welcomes all levels of zoology m...
As an Earth and Oceanographic Science major at Bowdoin College, the courses offered at Bowdoin are more generalized for all earth systems such as rock processes, surface processes, and ocean processes. I want a more intense study of ocean processes, like the carbon cycle and biological pump. I am very interested the field experience I could gain on a tall ship. This is
The movie that shocked thousands of Americans with the secrets of SeaWorld became one of the most talked about movies of its century. Blackfish came out in July of 2013 with shocking evidence of the mistreatment of Orcas, also known as killer whales, and the dangers imposed on the whale trainers. The movie had several strategies to appeal to its audience. These strategies included the three pillars of writing; logos, ethos, and pathos. Although the overall theme of Blackfish was to inform the viewers of the treatment Seaworld imposes on Orcas, the fundamentals of the movie actively used the three pillars; ethos, logos, and pathos to effectively catch the attention of the viewers and keep them drawn into the movie; the most prominent pillar was pathos followed
Rachel Carson worked at the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) as a marine biologist. While at the FWS, Carson produced three books on the ocean’s ecosy...
The average yearly wage in the U.S.A. is around $50,500 which as shown above is anywhere from $4,500 to $144,500 below what the crewmembers of a ship make in near half the time which was shown in a fairly recent census (How much do Americans earn?, par. 11). The benefits of these jobs can include meals, dental, disability, and paid leave (Maritime Salaries and Benefits, par. 2). These perks that come with the jobs certainly show that the pros definitely outweigh the cons of these
Aquariums are a great place to learn about the ocean and its habitats. From the bottom of the food webs to the preservations of the environments within, aquariums give people of all ages a hands-on experience and first-look at the mysteries of the ocean. Both the coral reef and the deep sea, though not well known among the general public, is presented in a way that sparks interest, showing the biodiversity in the waters below.
Have you ever visited a zoo and wondered what it takes to be one of those people who take care of the animals; or even wanted to play with, or train the Dolphins? Zoologists are more than just people who work with animals. If it was not for Zoologists and Marine biologists, we would have no clue about animals and their behaviors. They study how animals are in their natural habitats, how they reproduce, the kinds of food they eat and much more. Animals adapt to their homeland and when you take them out of that area it is very useful to know how they behave, so you can mock their environment especially when put into a zoo. Many people overlook the importance of biologists, not knowing what they really do.
Marine biology is the study of marine life in salt water ecosystems. It can also be described as observing how marine species interact with one another. Certain species of underwater plants can affect the environment in which they are put in. Some branches of marine biology study the affects of said plants. There are many branches of marine biology. Many people tend to study dolphins or sharks, since those are the most known marine animal. Only 30% of the world's oceans have been explored. This means that by being a marine biologists, I can have the chance to explore parts of the world that have never been seen before. Not many people are willing to go through the dark places of the oceans. This is what I want to do, because I would be the first one to see what is hidden behind the veil of darkness.
Have you ever wanted to slap eight people at once? Or if you're more of a mushy, touchy, feely person, have you ever wanted to hug eight people at once? An octopus can do either or both of these if they want to! So you know an octopus is lucky being able to do this but what's an octopuses habitat? Since they can slap eight things at once do they have predators? Or since we're on the facty facts subject where do they live?
As a mariner its important to know about the marine life, that was one reason I have chosen this topic for my today’s short presentation.
“In the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and day, and the ships which sail the seas to people's benefit, and the water which Allah sends down from the sky - by which He brings the earth to life when it was dead and scatters about in it creatures of every kind - and the varying direction of the winds, and the clouds subservient between heaven and earth, there
At present, of the 150,000 protected areas across the world, just 3% are in the oceans. As countries introduce measures to improve protection, it is important that the governments and the environmental agencies select sites for regulation.”(Schofield 834-836). This states that the government should improve their ways of assisting in care for the endangered species, but it is still quite expensive for them to do so. Well just how good are researchers doing in keeping up with all the
