The journey to becoming a marine biologist is one that is embarked with hard work and keen determination. When I boarded on this journey as a student majoring in marine biology‚ I have always been fascinated by ocean exploration and how new scientific discoveries have revolutionized around it. I also live with great enthusiasm for conducting oceanic research‚ and I have always envisioned myself using scientific instruments and modern day technologies to conduct such research. The Ocean and Climate

r Marine Biology is the study of ocean animals. Biology means is the study of life and marine means water. A marine biologist studies biology and chemistry. Marine biochemist studies biologically active compounds found in the ocean which are useful in medicine‚ or the genetics of marine species. The chemical properties of the ocean are important to understand because the marine environment supports the greatest abundance of life on earth. (http://marinebio.org/oceans/ocean-chemistry.asp) As

[pic] Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine or brackish bodies of water. Given that in biology many phyla‚ families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land‚ marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy. Marine biology differs from marine ecology as marine ecology is focused on how organisms interact with each other and the environment‚ and biology is the study of the organisms

The effects of Marine Protected Areas on Recreational fishing‚ with a focus on Temperate waters. Abstract Marine Protected Areas have been realized as a useful tool for the protection of marine eco system and biodiversity all over the world. These Marine Protected areas MPAs limit human activity in the conservation regions in order to protect biodiversity and exploited species. Hence they have a direct effect on recreational activities like fishing‚ bait collection‚ diver collection etc. The

Marine Pollution Marine pollution has become a major global issue. It is now becoming a serious concern that the ocean will no longer be a safe place for marine life and humans. There is a growing concern that pollution causes serious problems nowadays particularly health problems. This essay will argue that marine pollution should be addressed immediately. Firstly‚ the causes and the effects will be discussed‚ and some solutions to hoe marine pollution can be reduced. To begin with‚ marine pollution

(Source: Marine Ecosystem: EMCBTAP-ENVIS N Marine Pollution: Causes and Consequences Pollution of the world’s oceans is quickly becoming a major problem on Earth. We know very little about the effect that pollution has on the oceans‚ but we continue to dispose off chemicals‚ sewage and garbage into it at an unprecedented rate. Most people likely do not even know what types of pollutants reach the oceans. There may be billions of people unconcerned about ocean pollution and hence this

Marine Organism Introduction( By Elaine) Good morning‚ everyone. We are very honored to stand here to make this presentation. Firstly‚ I’d like to introduce our partners to you. This is our group leader Diao‚ and this is A‚ B‚ C‚ D‚ E. Today we are going to talk about the marine organism. Firstly let`s guess what it is ‚ok ‚let me tell you ‚it`s a kind of jellyfish‚and its name is Bougainvillia superciliaris. You may know that 71% of the earth is ocean‚ but you may not know how many

activity in the entire world is having a very serious effect on the health of the oceans as a whole. When commercially valuable species are overexploited‚ other species and habitat that share the same ecosystem are affected. According to many marine scientists and marine ecologists‚ unsustainable (overfishing) fishing is the greatest threat to the ocean ecosystems. For example‚ recent scientific studies suggest that overfishing of large shark species has had a ripple effect in the shark’s food chain‚ increasing

Marine Biology What is a Marine Biologist? When most think about becoming a marine biologist‚ they think about training dolphins. Others think about managing a marine wildlife sanctuary. A Marine Biologist is basically someone who studies‚ observes‚ protects‚ or manages marine organisms. In all honesty‚ I used to think Marine Biologists got to play with dolphins in shows. At least that is what the movie “Dolphin Tale” taught me. Little did I know that you could do so much more‚ but with a few more
