The Marine

Despite their intentions, a majority of marine conservation acts passed by Congress have not been enforced properly or are ignored entirely. Some environmentalists argue that we as citizens are to blame because we are too busy with our personal lives to care about the environment—most of us don’t recycle, utilize alternative sources of energy, or think twice about the detrimental effects that our lifestyles and everyday habits have on the oceans, let alone any other ecosystem or even the Earth,…

Marine biology has always been a passion of mine ever since I first heard about it when I was four years old. My family has a deep-running connection to the ocean so when they realized how interested I was in science, they suggested marine biology. I loved the concept of studying unknown creatures that sit miles below the surface of our planet that no human has ever seen. I’ve read many textbooks and field guides over the years, which started as an amusing pastime. However, the more I read,…

exposed to veterinary medicine, so I can’t say that this is what I’ve wanted to do with my life ever since I can remember. Law enforcement was where my interest lay during my developing years and was what prompted me to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. It wasn’t until I was 19 years old that I got my first taste of the field, and it was over before I ever had a chance to realize what was happening. I was just beginning training as a Military Working Dog (MWD) Handler, and was taking my…

help improve my fellow Sergeants’ corps’ .I truly believe that the Marines Sergeant is the backbone of the Marine Corps ,but of the entire service .This aggressive approach help me instill leadership in my Marines .I had become less passive and more confrontational with NCOs that fail to follow rules and regulations . During my first deployment to Iraq in 2003, I was awarded my second Navy and Marine Corp Achievement Medal by the Commanding Officer of MWSS-372, For performing my responsibilities…

leaving this world having actually contributed to society, helping it grow stronger for the future generations, having made the world safer for millions of people with one oath and a will to progress and reach one's full potential--The United States Marine Corps is the toughest branch of service and pushes people farther than imaginable. “There is no can’t only pushing forward past previous failures.”(Styczynski) Having to learn and learn quickly in an intensive environment. It is not for…

I did so with the intention of becoming a marine biologist. I had a strong passion for the ocean and coral reefs, which I wanted to apply towards my future career. During the summer after my freshman year, I began a research project with Dr. Jay McGhee to determine if marine biology was right for me. After completing the research at the end of my sophomore year, I decided that I wanted to pursue a different degree. Despite this decision, however, marine biology remains one of my passions today.…

A marine biologist studies organisms found in the ocean. As a marine biologist, you conduct research on the organisms found in their home, the ocean. For example,a marine biologist may study how different species in the ocean interact with one another. A person with this career may additionally study how these marine animals have evolved over time or even conduct research on a newly found species. A marine biologist collects samples of marine animals to conduct tests to find out how these…

The career that I hope to one day achieve is marine biology. A marine biologist is a person who studies all types of sea creatures. Marine biologist have the option to study large ocean animals or microorganisms. Everything from, what eats the prey, and what is the prey, then anything in between can be studied. This career requires physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology. Becoming a marine biologist varies in different amounts of education, but you will get paid more for the higher degree…

life of a marine biologist, you get to research in exotic places. I have chosen a career as a marine biologist because I excel in science and enjoy spending time with the ocean, nature, and animals. A career as a marine biologist is fun and interesting, has many responsibilities, requires a high education, and has many advantages and disadvantages. What specifically a marine biologist do is “...study the aquatic life of animals, plants, and microbes” (Middleton). Being a marine…

It should be in everyones best interest to minimise the world’s marine pollution, the vast growth of pollution in our ocean is affecting marine life such as coral reefs and sea animals. With pollution on the rise it is declining our marine future, which can be a worry for the worlds oxygen with a large percentage of the planet’s oxygen coming from marine plants. Marine life stability is one of the most important issues this century. We are constantly having large numbers of sea animals dying…
