Future Decisions My career goal for the future is to be a marine biologist. I know that there are several things that I must do both now and in the future to accomplish this goal. My hard work and dedication are both going to pay off one day when I am traveling the world’s oceans studying the marine life that lives in them. The decisions I make every day will determine whether or not I reach the goal I have set for myself. The decisions that I am making today that will affect my ability to accomplish my goal include studying, making a’s in math and science courses, and being present in school so that I can learn all that I can for future college courses. Studying is a crucial part of making good grades so that I can graduate with honors and get a good scholarship to a community college or four year university that offers a major in marine biology. Making all a’s in my math and science courses will benefit me because that is a lot of what marine biologists use. I will also need to be present at school and in class so that I can learn the things I will need to know to do well in my high school classes. The first thing I must do to reach my goal is graduate from high school, preferably with honors. The next thing I will need to do is earn my bachelor’s degree in marine biology. If I go to a community college, I will need to transfer to another college to finish the remainder of my four years. During the third year of my bachelor’s degree, I will need to find an internship in marine biology so I can gain some first-hand experience in the field. After graduating with my undergraduate degree, I will qualify for an entry-level position as a marine biologist. I can pursue a master’s degree or a doctorate if I choose to help work my way up the ladder of employment opportunities. There are no specific tests that a marine biologist must pass to work in their
field of Marine Biology is a very adventurous career because it has so much to offer. What exactly is Marine Biology? It is not just people who train dolphins to do flips in front of an audience. It is much more than that. Marine biology can be defined as the scientific study of marine life. From their swimming patterns, their eating habits, their breeding cycles and their habitats, all of this is studied by different Marine Biologists. Unlike many other careers where one may feel trapped, Marine Biology…
Marine Biology Marine biology is the branch of biology that deals with organisms living in the sea. It embraces a very diverse group of sub sciences, both basic and applied. Marine biology requires a marine science degree but most students specialize in many biology with a masters or PhD qualification. (Kuder 4). Many people study marine organisms all over the word. Biologists know less about the life in the sea than on land or in fresh water (Burkett 2). Marine biology is closely related to…
They are most common in Newfoundland to Virginia, in North America, Northern Europe, Norway, and Iceland to south of France. Due to their living environment, N. Virens experiences greater fluctuations in water salinity (Marine Species Identification Portal and Biology and UNT Biology Course 4506 2013). Phascolopsis gouldii, a spiunculid worm, is an animal that belongs to phylum Sipuncular and class Sipunculidea. They are introvert animal, about one-third of the trunk length. P. gouldii are equipped…
mysteries that still lay hidden beneath the waters’ surface. I am at the time of my life where my decisions will pave the way for my future either “Good” or “Bad”, and to have what most people in the Marine Biology field want, a satisfying life that revolves around aquatic life. Unlike other comrade marine biologists, I didn’t quite spend much time as a child fiddling through tide pools or take many field trips upon a vessel. I grew up quite removed from the ocean even though I did grow up in Corpus…
Oceanography also called oceanology or marine science, is the branch of Earth science that studies the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge…
Biology questions I’ve spent half of my life living in Vietnam and the rest here in the U.S. Everybody always talks about how I would have a better life here in the US rather than in VN. It’s hard to disagree with that, but I still fantasize the day I get to go back and relive all of my past memories. I was born in the loud city of Saigon, Vietnam. It’s where I had the fondest memories of my childhood. From the morning breeze to my friend’s smiles in the school yard, everything is still very alive…
12/11/13 Principles of Biology Blue Crabs When I think of blue crabs, I think of all the great tasting crustaceans in the ocean. After researching, I found that all crabs aren’t classified as crustaceans. They can be classified as a crab, true crab, or crustaceans. Blue crabs were listed as a true crab. The kingdom they belong to is the animalia. They have a Phylum and subphylum being the Arthropoda and crustacean. Arthropoda has the most numerous and widespread group of animals on earth. Arthropoda…
the oceans over the last century. What kind of devices are now used to explore the depths? They used cannon ball types a window, flashlight and a cable. 17. How do marine life forms from the deep seas differ from the "typical" life forms found at the surface? Pressure increases and very cold, they found species that glow, Marine life forms find each other by chemicals were female releases and males look for the female. Some fishes are blind and use their sense instead of vision. 18. Most biologists…
Introduction The article “Sea pollution posing severe threat to marine life” by Business Recorder records that fish species are killing in the coastal areas due to the increasing industrial chemical toxins from Lyari Nadi in Karachi port's navigational channel. Besides, the marine life and the fishermen of the inhabited islands are facing a severe threat of that pollution. According to the article, Mr. Bhatti who is the President of Bona Fide Fishermen and Boat Owners Welfare Association urged the…
The oceans represent a vast area of the planet surface playing a fundamental role. Their physics, chemistry and biology are key elements in the functioning of the earth system setting interconnection between different natural systems (terrestrial, freshwater, estuarine, coastal and oceanic) and providing a range of valuable ecosystem services [19-21]. Their essential role is further noted by the significant fraction of the Earth´s biodiversity that oceans harbor [22]. According with the 33 animal…
