  • Did you know not all marine biologists do the same thing? This video covers just a taste of the wide range of work a marine biologist may do.
    ...
    DISCLAIMER! - This is mainly based off of my experiences, there is an extremely wide variation of work that each marine biologist within these types may do.

      No one should say "OMG" because it is blasphemous, and enstranges us further from God, who loves us. It's a small thing but it's so easy to stop doing, seek Jesus and repent, because He gives all the things that you can't buy or fake that the world will tell you can be found anywhere else, like a purpose, a future, and peace of mind... sacrifice is the ultimate form of love, what does this world sacrifice for you? God sent His only begotten Son so that you might be saved. Christianity isn't an "us" and "them" thing, you can go to heaven too! Just seek earnestly seek Jesus, prayer is a good way to start

    This was my first career choice when I was 5. I remember being super obsessed with octonauts( a kids show about ocean exploration) and as soon as I found out I could have a career all about water I said I was gonna be a marine biologist for a longgg time. I got caught up with other interests and found other careers I’d also love to do but today I watched a documentary and saw some of my favorite sea animals and it sort of reconnected me to the potential of getting into the field. I’m 15 so I’ve still got 3 yrs to figure out what I wanna do, and even if I don’t end up being a marine biologist I’m glad I’ve done some research, and regardless I’d definitely love to be in the water more!

    Cool video! Very focused on the charismatic mega-fauna tho, even though a large part of marine biology is on algae, plankton etc. I think people sometimes get a false image of what marine biology actually is. Of course there are lots of cool jobs on whales, sharks, corals etc. but many marine biologists end up studying processes on a scale that’s invisible to the naked eye. Just a heads up to anybody interested in studying!

    As you gave an example, the terms of being out in the field can be 1-3 months for some of these jobs - is it standard for the researcher to work full time during those periods? Is there a day off for the weekend? I know work-life balance can be difficult within the discipline.

      You can start at relative degree like biology, chemistry, geology and then get masters in marine biology. Think about your academic career as a systematic thing. If you get bachelors, try to choose one relative to your field of interest overall and you will be able to choose masters based on that

    I am a student in Amsterdam, I finished my bachelors in Bioinformatics a year ago, passed my premasters this year in preparation for my master in Freshwater and Marine Biology after summer vacation! I have always wanted to become a biologist and the marine field always fascinated me the most as I grew up on Aruba where I was surrounded by sea! I can only dream I will find such an amazing job. I have actually already had many subjects on benthic biology, coral reef ecology, population modelling and so much more. I am so excited to start working in two years! If you have any tips for me, please share. I am also wondering how the average student finds money and time to do volunteer work next to your studies as I find it really difficult to find time and afford it with my ever increasing student loan/debt (again, tips are very welcome) :)

    Hi, I graduated with BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management in 2014, but now am finally in the sustainable development industry as a newly hired project officer in an environmental consulting company here in the Philippines, while finishing my MS in Environmental Science. I realized I wanted my career to be like that of what I see in National Geographic, or be part of the sustainability industry at large. After seeking advice, this is where I landed, finishing my master's degree to gain technical skills in this field, as it proved to be difficult to enter with jusy my bachelor's and a prior work experience from a different industry. I want to reach out to people and ask what are the ways for me to be eligible to work abroad, like in the US or European countries? Can you suggest possible ways in my scenario? I'm thinking getting enough years of relevant experience 1st, then trying my luck abroad. Or, apply for another graduate degree from a foreign university and then head straight for a working visa afterwards. Although I'm still just starting in this dream industry of mine, I'm eager to know ways of how to make it abroad. Thank you so much for your helpful insights, Eli!!
