Eugenie Clark was born on May 4, 1922 in New York City; she died at age 92 on Feb. 25, 2015. She died due to lung cancer which she had a tough battle for many years. Eugenie started her interest in fish and sharks when she went to her first aquarium when she was nine years old. From there she went to college to study ichthyologist in New York City University. Ichthyologist is a branch of zoology that deals with fishes. Eugenie received her Bachelor of Arts degree where she majored in zoology and her Master of Arts degree.
Eugenie Clark Major contribution to the biological community is Clark helped found the Cape Haze marine Laboratory in Placida Florida. In 1995 her team found the whale sharks giving birth to live young sharks. She made

She would visit the fish every week because her mom worked there. By visiting the sharks so much it made her think one-day that she would want to see the wild sharks in the ocean. Clark began to learn everything she could about the fish housed there and quickly made friends with the Bowery bums. “Some of them were well-educated men who just didn’t make out in their life, and they knew quite a bit about the fishes. They were like a bunch of jolly uncles to me.” (Biographical Series)
She received awards throughout her lifetime. Some of the awards were The Explorers Club Medal and high honors from the American Society of Oceanographers and the National Geographic Society. She was so good at what she did, she even wrote more than 175 articles for the academic and popular press. With the articles she inspired thousands of people to second-guess sharks and realize what beautiful creatures they are. She also received the Emmy Award for her underwater films and she was put into the Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame. On March 16, 2015 the U.S. Congress posthumously honored and recognized Dr. Clark for her efforts to understand and preserve the ocean realm. Eugenie Clark taught so many people about the importance of fish and sharks during her time and today, she also leaves a legacy that will inform her fellow scientists and ocean lovers for generations to come.

Elizabeth Griscom was born on New Year's day 1752. Known as Betsy to family and friends, she was the eighth of seventeen youths bound for Rebecca and Samuel Griscom. They lived in Philadelphia. Being strong and relentless Quakers, they were particularly traditionalist. Betsy was completely taught at a friend's Quaker school. It was in this Quaker school that she made sense of how to upholster. With her parent's assent, Betsy transformed into a natural pro in the upholstery shop of John Ross.Betsy soon started to look all starry peered toward at John Ross and they (secretly got hitched) on November fourth, 1773 in Gloucester, New Jersey. Betsy and John ran the upholstery shop together for quite a while. In 1775 John joined the get-together of

he Clearwater Marine Hospital discovered dolphin who was only 3 months old.Soon after she was found she was named, Winter. Most people Know about Winter because she starred in two movies Dolphin Tale 1 and 2.In the second movie the Marine biology a secoond dolphin and named her hope. I Like watching both of these movies because they're true and not like a regular movie that's made up.

In 1819 and 1820, hydrographer, Philip Parker Kin, undertook the methodical task of precisely chartering most of the northern Reef in detail for the first time. He commanded the Mermaid in 1819 and the Bathurst in 1820. These researchers and explorers on his crew embraced the studies we do today to know better about the reef and its creation. This could occur by examining the special characteristics of the reef, what type of species exist here, and find evidence of it evolvement over
For my creative project I have put together a flower vase with carnations, two roses, and a poppy. Each one of these flowers represents something in the book, Daisy Miller. Each flower plays an important role in the novel, though some are considered more significant than others,
The ocean has long been faced with neglect and disregard, with horrifyingly 90% of ‘big fish’ species diminishing greatly in number due to human interference. Publicising the issue of ocean preservation could help to incentivize individuals and so be beneficial to the legacy left for future generations.
Throughout the book, Montgomery compares the personalities of the octopuses she meets in the aquarium to the others she has known, and also those that she has encountered in the wild. Towards the end of the book, she goes through the process of learning how to scuba dive in hopes of meeting wild octopuses in their natural habitats
Nellie Bly was the first women to make many great accomplishments. She was the first female to race around the world, war correspondent, and reporter of course. She would not have accomplished any of those things without perseverance. Nellie Bly continued to amaze people throughout her childhood, worklife, and
Jacques-Yves Cousteau was a proponent of the preservationist approach to ocean environmentalism in the 1900s. Inspired by a diverse array of ideas and people, his work laid the path for future exploration of the oceans and awareness for their health. However, this success was endangered throughout his early life with threats to his feeble health. Despite these premature risks, Cousteau’s early life, inspiration from others, the studies of additional scientists in his time, and existing oceanographic research set the path for his own inventions, endeavors in biological preservation, their resulting accolades, and his leading presence in various organizations; additionally, his progress allowed for improved future ocean studies.
The life of Marine animals lies in the hands of scientist who try to study and protect them. From the early years of human life, marine animals have taken a part in the lives of humans as a source of food and everyday uses, but as the years have progressed and humans got curious we have started to study marine animal life and there ecosystems. Marine life has aided us and also it has perished and is still experiencing loses. The marine biology world has helped marine animals and has hurt them, but the controversial issues might actually outweigh the good things marine biologists have done and learned.
I hear the laughter and shouts of children, the playful chatter of dolphins and the cries of birds soaring overhead. I smell salt, fish, and freshly popped popcorn. I taste the salt on my tongue when I breathe; the metallic sense parching my throat. I feel the smooth, silky, rubbery hide of the dolphins as the swim against the wall flipping their fins for more fish. I see smiling faces of children, wonder-filled eyes, families united, dolphins performing tricks, and trainers teaching man and beast alike. Water, wind, salt, sun, dolphins—all of these are a part of my dream, to become a marine biologist.
(2017, March 27 ). Retrieved from https://www.quora.com/What-are-examples-of-marine-biology-experiments, That some examples of marine biologists experiments are tracking blue crabs this was said by Eli Salcedo, Aspiring marine biologist. Although they could be observing marine life behavior and trying to apply that to the oceans currently or they could be using microorganisms to breed together different species of coral. They did the first step to this in early November 2017 when the coral spawn happened and scientist all over the globe came to collect them. Although this was crucial at the time because there was constant bleaching happening back to back and the coral was
Living and raised in the Philippines has affected me to nurture and explore more about the ocean. For instance, when my family took me on vacation to travel another island, we rode a boat and I would always gaze at the clear ocean and observe a school of fish or the structure of coral reefs. The more curious I was about the ocean life, the more I researched about it. However, when I migrated to the United States, since my parents wanted me to have a better life and opportunity in education, limited my access to the sea. But I studied hard based on academics for my parents in order to have a better career and help them by paying their bills or taking care of them as they age. This pushed my interest away from the ocean, until my family took me to the Georgia Aquarium, the largest aquarium in the world. After reminiscing my childhood and the passion for the ocean, I realized that I want to study biological oceanography, which is the concern of interactions with marine organisms and its environment. Not to be confused with marine biology, which is the study of marine organisms specifically.
There is a need for shark research to be done worldwide (“Science”). Even though South Africa is a popular spot for ecotourism, “tourism to areas of ecological interest (typically exotic and often threatened natural environments), especially to support conservation efforts and observe wildlife,” there is
