Marine Mammal Science
There are a variety of careers in Marine Science. More
specific ones are Marine Mammal Science and Marine Fish Science.
Marine Fish Scientists study such fish as the clown fish, but the
careers we will be concentrating on are those as a Marine Mammal
Scientist.
Scientists believe there are approximately 100 species of
aquatic or marine mammals that depend on fresh water or the ocean
for their lives. They include seals, sea lions. whales, dolphins,
and many more. The duty of a Marine Mammal Biologist is to
understand how these creatures live. Another way to think of it
is like this: most people communicate by talking on the phone,
writing, or other ways. You see, Marine Mammal Biologists try to
understand things like communication.
Because a lot of people are interested in these animals and
studying them it is quite competitive in getting a job. Yet it is
a very rewarding experience.
