What is Marine Biology?

Marine biology is the study and exploration of marine mammals, plants, and wildlife living on the ocean floor.


It covers a vast spectrum of knowledge and includes the study of botany, chemistry, mammalogy, and conservation.

Many marine biologists are also involved with environmental preservation and zoo rescue, and a marine biology degree can branch out into many specializations in the study of aquatic organisms and oceanic history.

Studies in marine geology, conservation, and the technical aspects of marine biology offer many rewarding opportunities for a successful marine biology career.
