1. Marine Biologists

2. The Life of a Marine Biologist
Marine Biologists study biotic organisms and the interaction between them and their environment
Marine Biologists specifically study salt-water organisms
Oceanographers are considered a type of Marine Biologist and study different parts of the ocean ( including the floor and the different zones)
To be a Marine biologist, you must be interested in aquatic activities such as scuba diving.

3. What’s the Education Requirements?
A Ph. D is required for independent research
Depending on the type of work you will be pursuing, a Bachelor’s Degree in Marine Biology will be required
In college, you would major in biology, as well as possibly minor in chemistry and physics

4. The Location and Workplace (Nature of Work)
Depending on what you are working on, you could be out in the seas, or working in a laboratory or an office
If you are out at sea, you could be in any of the oceans, or seas and either on a boat, in the water, or both!
While working in a lab or office, you will see many microscopes and computers, as well as dangerous toxins and organisms

5. What is the salary? Range per year Average per year With a Bachelor’s
With a Master’s
$40,000- $100,000
$50,000
$30,000- $40,000 per year
$40,000- $70,000 per year
* Going out on an experiment, or investigating a new job, is an additional payment to the average salary for that payment

6. Miscellaneous Info Main Tools used in Marine Biology:
Computers and specialized software
Microscopes
Photography Equipment including cameras
Scuba Diving Gear
Boats and other water mobiles

7. Why does all of this matter?
Marine Biologists are the people who give us information about marine life and about the entire planet
With Marine Biology, we can understand
Pollution
Climate Change
Alternate Energy Sources
Human Health ( such as air availability)
