Swimming Through Life. I have always dreamed of working with ocean animals. I have loved everything about marine science since I was a little girl. Marine biology has been around for many many years. Marine biology teaches people the beauty of ocean life and how it works. Marine Biology has been around as early as 1200 BC. The beauty of the ocean is so great which is what brings people all around the world together to learn more and more about what the ocean has to offer. Marine biology is a hard but fun job because people learn more about the ocean and get to work with beautiful animals all the time. It brings joy, beauty and a pretty good pay grade. People say that working in the marine biology does not bring enough pay but people …show more content…

Another thing that is great about this field is that you get to tell other people about what you found and can have so much passion in doing so that they will feel the passion and get just as excited as you about the same thing. Being in this field is wonderful because people do not only get to enjoy the beauties of the ocean by themselves but they get to enjoy them with so many others that enjoy the passion all together. It helps people to grow stronger in their communication skills and cooperation skills because they are always working together to find out new things and how they may even be able to change some things. Marine biology is beautiful because it shows you new and exciting things about the ocean each and every …show more content…

One of the reasons people do not think that being a Marine biologist is worth your time is, there is a lack of steady pay. A lot of it is reward, so if you expect to get a lot of money when starting off in the job do not be too surprised when it is not a lot. Another reason is that it is very competitive. When a job is competitive it makes it hard to find a steady position. It is almost impossible to find a job without any prior experience. One other reason is that a person could get hurt. When working with some animals they may become frustrated or scared and could accidentally hurt a person. Most of the time the animal is not trying to hurt them but it could really cause some damage. There are many cons to having this job so people have to think very hard about if they really want to be in this field or

  • SEA Semester: Personal Statement

    555 Words  | 2 Pages

    I’m applying to SEA Semester, because I love the ocean. It’s been my dream from a young age to learn to sail and live on a ship. I’m from Aroostook County in Northern Maine, which is five hours away from the ocean. Every summer my parents would make sure I got to the ocean at least once, and I’ve romanticized it since I can remember. Since coming to Bowdoin, I’ve always spent my weekends biking and driving to the ocean, because it’s become a place for me to think clearly and escape the fast-paced life of a college student. The ocean has developed into my happy place, which is why I want to study it and understand how humans are impacting it. I want my undergraduate studies to give me the knowledge needed to protect our oceans in the future, and to be able to conduct research to expand our knowledge of the ocean. To be able to live on a tall ship and continue my studies of the ocean is my dream.

  • Ellen Prager Chasing The Sea

    1992 Words  | 4 Pages

    While both fields carry importance within the science community, I feel that both should be given equal opportunities to be explored. Prager also expresses that students should have more opportunities for fieldwork and research when studying the seas. She continues to express the importance of fieldwork to not only students in marine sciences, but in any field of science. The physical action of working and collecting data alongside performing observational studies has been proven to improve students’ ability to learn. Prager vocalizes that the discovery and uncover of the mysteries of the oceans is through the future generation of scientists. In my eyes, the money spent on ocean and space exploration should be equal. The general understanding is that the creation of life might have begun in the depths of the oceans. With a scientific background I feel as if the exploration of the oceans should be given more attention to the exploration of space. The exploration of the oceans might lead to new clues on how the human population truly came to be. Marine exploration should be just as important as space exploration because this bias of funding is not evenly distributed within the science community. I learned that our actions here on land in terms of trash and debris management have a huge impact on the marine life throughout the oceans, as certain areas of the ocean are becoming dead zones due to our negligence and improper disposable of our debris. Prager concludes with the discussion of how the oceans are changing due to the impact of human negligence, and the importance of scientific research to understanding how these changes will affect our lives in the

    Marine biology is the study of marine life in salt water ecosystems. It can also be described as observing how marine species interact with one another. Certain species of underwater plants can affect the environment in which they are put in. Some branches of marine biology study the affects of said plants. There are many branches of marine biology. Many people tend to study dolphins or sharks, since those are the most known marine animal. Only 30% of the world's oceans have been explored. This means that by being a marine biologists, I can have the chance to explore parts of the world that have never been seen before.

  • Animals In Live Entertainment Research

    1877 Words  | 4 Pages

    Using animals in live entertainment facilities is unethical and inhumane. Even if one does not care about animals, concern for human life might matter. Exotic animals are dangerous to the public. Exotic and potentially dangerous animals and humans were never meant to be in close quarters with each other. Recently, a woman leaned closer to a polar bear in a zoo and was attacked. (Animal Planet 2008) Despite the fact that the bear was significantly larger than the woman, the bear may have felt threatened. The bear was not in its natural surroundings and that, coupled with the woman invading his space, created a situation where the bear felt threatened. These are not domesticated animals, like a dog, who is used to being around humans. Despite years of training, animals can instinctively react to the invasion of their space by a human. Their instinct is to protect themselves, which might include attacking and killing a human. Sadly, such an act by the animal, would typically result in the animal being put to death. Animals can...
