Marine biology

My future plans involve attending Western Washington University and becoming a marine biologist. While attending Western, I plan to pursue a degree in marine biology. Also, I want to take part in their Marine Science Scholars Program to earn credits and gain experience in the field of marine biology. During my sophomore or junior year, I plan to study abroad so I can expand my knowledge on the different marine ecosystems around the world. Participating in these different activities will…

1872 to 76 made multiple discoveries. Discoveries that laid out the foundation of oceanography. This expedition was made specifically to gather data on a wide range of ocean features. They included ocean temperatures sea water chemistry, currents, marine life, also the geology of the sea floor. The expedition was led by John Murray and Charles Wyville Thompson. Human use of the ocean floor The ocean is…

A Marine Mammalogist is an area that's studying nothing but mammals that includes every mammal that spends most of their time inside the water in order to survive with in their life span in that environment of bodies of water.This job is dealing with sea creatures it can be hard or also easy but the body size will probably be shocking from your first time .Sea creatures are animals that are very huge could be small but they live inside the ocean . For example,whales,dolphins,sea otters,polar…

chains and food webs. All of these animals rely on each other to survive. Ever since learning about something as simple as a food chain in middle school, I have been interested in the impact humans have on animals and ecosystems. The ocean and its marine life has fascinated me for as long as I can remember. At a young age I fell in love with the beauty of our oceans and its diverse life. Since then, I have taken it upon myself to understand…

forming more bicarbonate ions which makes seawater more acidic. Page 2 Biological Effects on Marine Life In a biology class, I learned about things such as buffers, acids, and bases. I learned that the more Hydrogen molecules that a substance has makes it more acidic, and the more OH- molecules a substance has makes its concentration more basic. This is relatable to what I have learned in biology class because beneath our seas, some type of acidification is going on because of the…

Jacques Cousteau is an oceanographer, inventor, marine biologist, and an author. Cousteau was born June 11, 1910 in Saint-André-de-Cubzac, France, and he died on June 25, 1997, in Paris, France. Jacques Cousteau was the co-inventor of the aqualung, and he wrote books such as the, ‘’ Ocean World of Jacques Cousteau’’ and ‘’ The Unknown Ocean.’’ Cousteau also invented most of the scuba-diving gear and devices that you use today. As a child, Cousteau suffered from stomach and amenia problems.…

doing adding to the vast amount of information known on these animals.The Marine Mammal Stranding Network is important due to contributioning knowledge and help it provides. Not only this, but the stranding network uses this data to present/ inform management decisions. This knowledge is valuable due to exposing human and/or ecosystem health issues. Furthermore, the stranding network also helps to educate the public about marine mammals and the correct way to interact with them. The stranding…

surprise in the middle of the ocean. By applying chemistry and biology knowledge that I am currently taking, into this field, researching the way to create environment to change the way of farming in aquaculture industry to less detrimental ways for marine organisms is my primary goal. Furthermore, in terms of entire biosphere, which is not limited to sea life community itself, I would like to research the way to prevent or restore marine ecosystem from possible climate change and natural…

to survive. But could it be too much? We have of plenty of fish, right? Wrong. Small fishing in ponds, lakes, and sea sides by one or two people won’t make much of a difference, but with the main fishing companies hauling thousands to millions of marine life out of the oceans daily, it will be. This is overfishing; depleting stocks of fish in a body of water by too much fishing. This is the problem that will be explained by this paper, as well as the background of it and possible solutions to…

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to explore and delve deep into the ocean. I dreamt of breathing underwater and discovering a vastly unknown world that surrounds all of us. This lead to my interest in Marine Biology and how it has pushed my character past any interfering influence. There were so many media outlets that helped drive my passion for the water. The best way I can imagine to spend my time is to relax on a couch watching some of the best ocean films in history. There are great ones…
