Marine Biology Personal Statement

When ever you go to the beach, do you ever think about what can happen to an animal and the water when you leave a wrapper in the sand or a plastic bottle in the water? If you think about it, even a small piece of plastic can harm a fish. The fish could mistake it for food. This could potentially kill the fish. There are other things that people d that pollutes the ocean. An oil spill from a boat can get fish sick (Doc.2). Also, solid waste, plastics, glass, and foam (OI). Marine life can get trapped in any of these items (OI). There are many things we can do to prevent this, like, reducing plastic waste in stream, improve solid waste management, and increase, capture, and reuse (Doc.1). These are just a few of the many things we could do to

My career goal is to become a Marine Biologist, but my goal for college is to go to school and major in Environmental Biology. My hope is that after four years of majoring in environmental biology it will set me on my career goal to become a marine biologist. My decision to major in Environmental Biology is because Environmental Biology is very broad. It does not set you one just one thing, instead it branches off into different career paths, such as ecology, habitat restoration, wildlife rehabilitation, sustainable agriculture, marine biology and more. I could choose to major in marine biology, but I would like to have more experience in different things. In case my goal to become a marine biologist back fires I will have the experience to

The dream of having majored in marine biology is one thing, but to get to have a marine biology degree is a fifth grader’s dream come true. The environment is heading in a rough direction. For example, ocean acidification is already a problem. The decrease in pH of our ocean acidity is causing coral reefs to die out—which houses thousands of organisms’ homes and food sources. Due to the contaminants, we release into the natural environment, we are slowly losing ecosystems every day. Therefore, I want to be the researcher to help save the oceanic life from these horrible conditions. Also, the career of marine biology can take a person anywhere, from the coasts of the Bahamas all the way to the depths of the Arctic Ocean. This provides the advantage

Although there can be certain cons to pursuing marine biology as a profession, there are an abundant amount of pros to living this life. In addition to learning about marine creatures, marine biologists also help develop medicines and find different cures for sicknesses ("What is Marine Biology?”). Marine biologists get to see amazing aquatic places and animals that are very astounding and beautiful. I have wanted to be a marine biologist since I was five years old I never saw myself being anything other then that. After reading five articles and writing this essay, I cannot wait to go to college and become a marine biologist. The ocean takes up 96.5% of the surface of the earth. There are numerous amounts of mysteries that make up the deep-sea and without the help of marine biologists they would all be

My family background is Latino and I come from a family that struggles at times, but is always willing to work their butts off just to provide things for myself and also for my siblings . My uncles who I consider my parents have always been there for me and my two older sisters, he took us in when my mother passed away giving birth to my little sister, after she gave birth to my little sister, she disappeared from our lives since her dad took her, but that’s life and i’m sure one day we will meet. My life is kinda depressing, but really I don’t take it like that, as of right now I’m happy and my life’s pretty much amazing, I’m getting good grades and I’m really focused on my school and nothing is distracting me and I’m set on the right way of life and nothing will stop me from

Through life I have had no Idea what I was going to do as a career. At one point, I wanted to be a Doctor; at another point a Marine Biologist; and a teacher, a nurse and the list goes on. I have a love for learning and the more I learn the happier I have felt. Over the course of many years I have learned a great deal in various areas, still not sure of where I wanted to settle on as a career. Till now with my current employment with the local library.

As a four-year-old, I wandered among the wave pools and stooped down to examine any visible sea life. In my right hand, I carried a net to capture any marine organisms I needed to examine. Hermit crabs with elaborate shells and minnows with original patterns were often victims of my net. I practiced counting the appendages on the crabs and connecting the dots on the minnows with my fingers. How do crabs construct their shells, I wondered? This was one of the hundreds of unanswered questions, which plagued my mind during my expedition.

When I was nine years old, my second grade science teacher introduced me to my first marine biology book, called What Lives in the Sea. From what they ate to how they looked, the book taught me so much about fish and ignited my passion for science. As a child, watching Animal Planet and Discovery could only teach me so much. I soon moved beyond the water and became interested in the land, the mountains, and the plains. My mind probed father still.

Hi, we are students from VISA,Vaughn international studies academy. We have been given the opportunity to be a part of a job shadowing project in our school and a group of students have decided that it will be an amazing opportunity to job shadow a marine veterinarian at the aquarium of the pacific. As we have been reminded by our English teacher, we have to look into a possible career that is what we want to do when we go to college and afterward.We need event tickets to Aquarium of the Pacific’s “Marine Biologist Job Shadow Program, Transportation to Long Beach, admission tickets to the Aquarium of the Pacific, and transportation home from Long Beach, and lunch.

If you are interested in adventuring the depths of the ocean, being a marine biologist is the job for you. As a marine biologist you will need to have several years of schooling in order to have a successful career. Being a marine biologist can be an enjoyable and dangerous job, but the journey is worth the ride.

I never thought in a million years I would be getting my undergraduate degree in America, but life happened and I’m now here studying Marine Science and Anthropology. I’m hoping to pursue a path in Marine Archaeology – looking for shipwrecks, lost treasure and living the pirate life. Currently entering into my third semester at the University in Hawaii Hilo, I can definitely see a vast difference from European and American universities – number of years to complete an undergraduate degree, class schedules and dormitory life. I feel that being Dutch and moving around the world every three years has shown me many different types of schooling techniques.

When I was younger I learned that if you take care of the ocean the ocean will take care of you. Growing up in Hawaii I was surrounded by ocean and you can’t live near the water and not be curious about what is out there. This curiosity led me to marine biology and my love for learning about the ocean. My academic goals are to graduate in four years with a bachelors in marine biology and to continue on to complete a masters in either zoology or oceanography and a PhD in a field within oceanography. When it comes to my education I want to be well rounded in the different fields that contribute to what I want to research and being able to understand and look at problems in many different ways to find the solution that benefits both the ocean

Climate research is both urgent and uncertain. Changes in climate affect nearly every aspect of our lives, from food security to public health. Unfortunately, limited or biased observational data combined with a limited understanding of complex phenomena in the ocean (the dominant driver of global heat and carbon uptake) presents hurdles for climate scientists. Uncertain results often lead to public skepticism and stall environmental policy efforts; these delays threaten populations who often contribute the least to anthropogenic climate change and yet are likely to suffer the most. The global need for reliable climate research drives my interest in climate and the ocean’s role in the climate system.

I love studying the structure and behavior of the natural and physical world through observation and experimentation. I have taken oceanography and anatomy classes on Saturday mornings as they were not available in my school. I hope to use my scuba diving skills to study oceanography this summer. My eighth grade science class examines physical and chemical properties, compounds, and reactions and equations. We explore life sciences, earth and space, geology, volcanology, hydrology, and global energy in preparation for the MCAS exam. I am looking forward to conducting an independent research project that will require us to work in our labs using real chemicals to perform experiments. I am in a new school building, with new equipment, taught

It wasn’t until Aristotle’s time that written records of marine life was composed. Aristotle (384 BC to 322 BC) was the first to write about marine life, recording his observations made on or near the Island of Lesbos in Ancient Greece. He recorded identifications of a variety of species ranging from echinoderms to crustaceans to mollusks and even fish. Not only was Aristotle the first to write about his observations of marine life, he was also the first to record his work on the anatomy and physiology of marine animals and was the first to use a systematic taxonomy to classify these animals (Blits, 1999). It is because of his early work that Aristotle is often referred to as the father of marine biology and comparative physiology.
