2. What is a Marine Biologist?
Marine biologists study fish and other wildlife that inhabits the oceans.
They study the physical characteristics of animals, their behaviors, and the impacts humans have on wildlife and natural habitats.
The oceans contain more than 97% of the total water on the Earth, and account for nearly 99% of the Earth's living space, owing to their area as well as depth.
I became interested in this career field when I went deep sea fishing and caught some interesting fish.

9. Summary
I look forward to pursuing this career in my life. From the information I have researched I learned what I can earn in this career, how many years of schooling is needed and much more.
