Marine Biology
Marine biology is more than the scientific study of marine life. Marine biology is the study of marine organisms, their behaviors, and interactions with the environment. Marine biologists study oceanography and the associated fields of chemical, physical, and geological oceanography. Marine biologists are also able to specialize in large aquatic animals, all the way down to microscopic and minuscule organisms. Anything else in between, marine biologists are able to study.
Marine biology is known to be a learn and research field. Most work focuses on research, which can vary day by day. For example, a marine biologist may study the effects of oil change and chemical spills in ocean plant and animal life. Another example could be going scuba …show more content…
diving in the morning to collect coral samples and then bringing them back to the lab for observation. As well, marine biologist may sometimes present their research papers at scientific conferences, with other marine biologists. They also publish their results of research in scientific journals.
Most marine biologist are known to be teachers and professors during the frigid and chill seasons, when there is less work to be completed in the field.
There are between seven hundred thousand and one million aquatic species, which shows there is no particular day in the field of marine biology. Most work focuses on research, which can vary day by day. For example, a marine biologist may study the effects of oil change and chemical spills in ocean plant and animal life. Another example could be going scuba diving in the morning to collect coral samples and then bringing them back to the lab for observation.

The future of marine biology is taking a very tremendously slow turn. The job outlook in zoologists and wildlife biologists, including marine biologists will increase by 8%, which is as fast as average. The number of jobs in 2016 was 19,400 and the employment change from 2016-2026 will increase to 1,500 more zoologists and wildlife biologists. Although jobs in the marine biology are very limited and extremely competitive. The U.S. Bureau Labor Statistics (BLS) expects employment of wildlife biologists and zoologists, which include marine biologists to increase only 4% between 2014 and 2024. In 2008, there were 91,300 biological jobs, including marine biologists. While the employment of biology grew by a 21%, marine biology is a smaller profession and grew by way less.
With most research fields, marine biology is in need of grants and funding to support their work.
Grants are when organizations or individuals give marine biologists money for research that they publish in the future. Marine biologists are suppose to write grants to different organizations. Then one of the organizations will pay for the research that needs to be completed. After they pay for the research the marine biologists will publish their work. Those steps are the way granting is suppose to operate. Granting actually is when you first do the research, then marine biologists receive the results. They at first do not publish the paper, but instead write their grants to the multiple organizations. Then they receive the money and publish their research paper, but then use the money they received for another unrelated new research project. There are two categories of science, basic and applied. Basic science being the science they do because they want to know how a process works. Applied science being science they do to learn how to fix a problem or how that problem is influencing the environment. For instance, when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig sank in the Gulf of Mexico on April 22, 2010. Which sets the record for the world’s worst oil spill in history. Both categories are used in marine biology, but applied science earns more profit in the future, for the investors when they fund for the marine biologist’s
research.
