Marine Biology

I provide high-quality medical care to our aquarium animals, assist in field work operations around the world and participate in research.

Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector of global food supply and there are very few people working to manage genetic resources globally.

A typical day on the job varies from surveying pristine coral reefs, salvaging sunken vessels in the cold and dark north Atlantic...

My job is multifaceted and fun! I have many titles that represent my multidisciplinary duties: marine biologist, teacher, professor, captain, intern coordinator and grant writer.

In order to assess the adult abundance of bay scallops, I get to snorkel/scuba dive each summer in the shallow water seagrass beds along the coast of Florida.

The identification and development of human therapeutics is an exciting and rewarding field.

The best parts of my job are working outdoors, operating boats, getting wet and getting paid to have fun in the sun and protect the environment.

Look seriously at taking a minor in a field that compliments marine science, such as organic chemistry, biostatistics, etc.

I love working with animals and understanding how and why nature works the way it does.

My job provides me with the opportunity to be involved in the conservation and recovery of many different marine species.

Take the best science and math courses available. Gain as much experience as possible in the field you're interested in or a related field (even if you have to volunteer).

I’d always had a love for the ocean and an interest in science, but it was the mystery and beauty that lay beneath the water in tide pools we visited on a family trip that captured my imagination.
