Hi. :) I'm currently a junior in High School, and I am planning to take up Marine Biology for College. The course looks fantastic! I just wanted to ask, what subjects did you take before specializing in Marine Biology? And, how many years did it take? Hope it doesn't take too much time to answer this! Thanks!!!
@moniquekahn88 I took a general course in biology with nothing specific to marine in undergrad. What I did do was study abroad in Mexico where I got to do hands-on work with sea turtles and that taught me a lot.
you have an awesome job, i dont plan to be a bioligist but i am fascinated by animals, i think i learned more from hours of animals documentaires than i did at 6 years in secondary school
Isn't there a degree on where you can study certain fish?? If so I'd probably study clownfish to try to make different breeds and yellow tangs to breed in captivity
Can someone please help me? I'm 15 and I really want to be a marine biologist. Do you NEED university to become a marine biologist, or will college do? I ask because I don't know if i can make it into a university because I'm doing really bad in my second language (French) Also do you need a second language get into university?
@HaNkIeE214 Either college or university will work to become a marine biologist as long as you work hard at it.... Not sure about the second language part, but I imagine you'll be fine with just one.
I have always wanted to be a marine biologist ever since I was a little girl. I love dolphins and all marine mammals. can you become a doctor in marine biology? also I'm not that good at math but once I understand the material and how to do it, I can do any problem...is that bad for wanting to be a marine biologist? because I know for wanting to become a marine biologist you have to be very good at math. btw does anyone know what the difference is between marine science and marine biology?
@DolphinLuver211 You can be a doctor, either as a Ph.D. researcher, like I'm working towards, or as a veterinarian. Just keep working at the math and it won't hold you back. Marine science is more general and includes marine physics, marine chemistry, etc. whereas marine biology is just that, biology.
Is it true the marine biology field is very competitive? Based on the multitude of comments, it would make sense there are a plethora of students pining away at the idea of swimming with dolphins as a job, but fail to recognize the more realistic aspects of this career. Is it also true that working for a private business can be unfulfilling because you risk being fired with unsatisfactory information? I wanted to have this job once too, but start considering the true nature of the job people
@katfish153 Thanks for the comment. Marine biology is certainly a competitive field, as is any other profession. Within the field there are certain jobs, such as professorships, that are particularly hard to achieve. That said, any high level job is going to have competition for it, so that's no reason to not pursue it. I'm not sure about your private sector question as I haven't worked there to know.
I'm currently a sophomore in HS with about six years of diving experience and probably making DiveMaster by my senior year. If I want to study MB in Australia near the Ocean (or in any other countries that have colleges near an Ocean or Sea), would that be a good qualification to note alongside academics?
@bimbus111 Absolutely. A sustained commitment to diving would show schools that not only do you have a great interest in the ocean, but you have the resolve and maturity to achieve a high level certification.
Hi, i am really fascinated by this video and i have a few questions.
I'm in my 10th grade now and i've chosen sciences as my course in high school, my grades at the moment are: Math : B , Physics : B , Chemistry : A , Biology : A , Geography : B
Do you think that is good enough to enter a university, which specializes biology? and if so could you please tell me the names of some good universities. Thank you in advance. :)
@Alphas0 Nice work! I think that your grades look great, but a guidance counselor will know better what sorts of grades you need to get into top colleges. That said, there are many schools out there with strong biology programs so you don't need to fear missing out.
@Alphas0 If you're worried about grades then you can always do extracurricular activities to build your resume, especially if you can find an internship related to animal care or scientific research.
@Alphas0 you are okay, you can enter in the university you want to ! just keep going like that with your grades. I'm 15 years old and i'm in a very important university, i finished high school last summer. MY MAJOR IS BIO MEDICAL SCIENCES JUST CAUSE I WANT TO BECOME A DOCTOR. AND YOU ARE ON A RIGHT WAY
This video to me is far more than entertaining but it really opens up towards the demonstrations and/or interests that marine biology/marine science has to offer.
@TWhite2345 You can have any number of degrees, but general biology is most common. Some people are able to do marine biology, but it's rare to find as a major and not necessary to go on to study marine biology in graduate school.
@neelhound Fortunately my flights, housing, rental car, and lab fees all get paid for by research grants that I secure. I usually just have to pay for my food, but you have to eat wherever you are!
@TheMysteryman334 Not true at all. There are lots of things you can do with a degree in marine biology, including working at a university, a field research station, a non-governmental (conservation) organization, or for state or federal governments.
@MLE0001 It's really variable and depends on what you study. For me, I go to the field for around two months per year, while the other ten are spent at home/my university analyzing samples and data. Some of my peers go to the field for four to six months a year, while others don't go at all!
Im am 16 and my main goal is to become a Marine Biologist. I need advice!! What colleges in the country have the best programs for Marine Biology. What are the good paths to take? Any help would be great!!
@MboroMarksman4 I'm not sure what schools offer the best undergrad marine biology degrees, but there are a limited number of schools that have it so I would just do an internet search. I was a general biology major in undergrad and fully believe that you don't have to major in marine bio to go on to study it in graduate school. Doing research as a undergrad is really important for moving on to grad school and that's where I'd suggest doing work related to the ocean, lakes, or rivers.
What college can you go to in atlanta georgia? What subjects can you choose? Is being a marine biologist fun? And last, is it true that if you find a unknown animal you get to pick its name? Thx for your time!!
I have a question! I'm really into nature and obviously marine life. I want to do something with marine life that especially involves conservation and activism, getting people aware and getting things done to help save our marine life. Do you have any idea's as to what i could specify as? Or are these mainly things marine biologists do on the side and not as a specialty? And what would be the best for me to study to get there? Thanks a LOT! ^^
I love biology! I just made a 4 on my ap bio exam. Im definitely going to have marine biology as my job later on I love everything about it! And nice video coral is so fascinating! I just wish humans weren't so destructive
@yuexiong As an undergrad I majored in general biology and minored in environmental sciences chemistry. I didn't truly start studying marine biology until grad school, so you can do that. But if you have opportunities as an undergrad to study the ocean in some way--whether it's in a class or through doing research in a lab--I would really suggest it because it will give you a step up heading to grad school.
Hi. I'm 30 year old, graduated school at 27 and have worked as a computer engineer for 3 years now. I hate my job and my major. I've been thinking about studying marine biology with the money I've been saving. What would you say if I were your close friend and asked you about starting a new career as a marine biologist in the age 30? would you encourage him or her to do so? All I've been hearing from my friends and families are negative.
i wanna swim under water with all that scuba gear and interact with animals and study squids and such. do marine biologist do alot of that or is it mostly work from boats and get info from there?
I would really love to be a marine biologist, but focus on sharks. Is it possible to choose certain animals to study like sharks and sea turtles while being a marine biologist? Also, where have you traveled to so far for your job? Please respond! Thanks so much!
@coleyjuice A lot of marine biologists study specific groups, like sea turtles or sharks. For my job I've traveled to Curacao, in the southern Caribbean, and to Maui--both are very cool places.
hey, great video :) you're career is almost exactly what i wish to do too. I was just wondering what you took in university to get your masters and what else you took. Any other advice you would give a future marine biologist like me? :D thanks!
@Arrow9992 I'm glad you liked the video. As an undergrad I was a majored in general biology and minored in environmental sciences chemistry. I didn't truly start studying marine biology until grad school. I've now finished a masters in oceanography and am working on a Ph.D. in marine biology. The two biggest suggestions I have are to do as much as you can to improve your writing skills and understanding of statistics, in addition to studying biology and other sciences.
@VTtoCA thanks so much for the response, it means a lot. thanks for the advice! good luck with your PhD! im glad you're doing something you love to do :)
i want to become a marine biologist ... i absolutely love the ocean ....i want to learn about the marine life dolphins sharks whales coral reefs and the life they hold ...is it impossible for me to become one ???? and how difficult is it to find a job ??? which is the best university to study marine biology in england???
@kl3848 It's not impossible at all. There are lots of jobs out there, you just have to be open and flexible to a variety of options. I'm not sure which universities are the best in England, but I know that there are lots that have marine biology programs.
@MrCutie000 Not at all. Even if you never learn to swim you can still be a marine biologist. Many of us do our work from boats way out in the ocean. We collect our samples with instruments and nets instead of our hands. There is also a lot of work you can do from shore, either working with animals in an aquarium or in the intertidal.
@VTtoCA Hey, thanks for the video, i commonly go down to a near by pond and set little traps trying to catch crayfish and things like finding baby snapping turtles catching all kind of things things, always have my net, does this major fit these characteristics? and if not what are some other majors that might suit these type of habbits??
@ajxx10 Many marine biologists will collect organisms to study them--it's how we learned that the tree of life was so diverse! So I think your interests could be applied to marine biology for sure.
Im a freshmen in highschool and I am learning in biology about RNA, DNA, genetics and cell cycles and stuff. This really REALLY bores me. I want to learn about marine animals and how they interact with their enviornment and what they do and stuff. Would marine biology be a good job for me? Like you said you got back from Hawaii and the Caribbean studying marine life. I would LOVE to do that. So is this the right job for me?
Hey everyone, at long last I've posted a new video. This time I wanted to show you guys what the animals on a real live coral reef look like, so I added a bunch of pictures from Curacao, where I do my research. I hope you like it and stay tuned for more videos soon. - Aaron
@Moeggggggggggggggggg Absolutely, those are two of the most important things to enjoy if you want to be a marine biologist. I get to travel a lot. Check out my new video to get a sense of the creatures I get to check out in the field.
Hey @VTtoCA. I am very good in writing, science, and i adore marine animals so much, and i really know A LOT about them because ever since i was little i would watch documentaries and read many ocean life books. The problem is that I'm not the strongest in math and I just want your opinion because I really want to major in this but I'm just scared because math is my weakest point.
@djbrianfoxx It's the same as many other fields I would say - a mix of your experience and your opportunities. While it might seem like a somewhat rare job there are tons of opportunities out there and an incredible diversity of jobs that marine biologists can do.
@VTtoCA I'm English and want to be a marine biologist too, i am top off my year at science and am in year 8 going into year 9 (9th grade), is it a worth while job?
@bentherocker I think it's very worthwhile. I'm excited by the work I do: asking scientific questions and figuring out how to discover the answers. I also enjoy working with animals and traveling to amazing places for work.
@madnessdexter It depends. As a mechanical engineer you're trained as a scientist and presumably have extensive knowledge of math, which is great. While you might be weaker on the biology side, there is a lot of engineering that goes into building the instruments that marine biologists use to study the ocean. We can't get very deep, so we need instruments that make measurements for us all the way down to the ocean floor. And we couldn't do that work without engineers.
Is there a such thing as a marine mammal veterinarian? I've always been interested in marine biology, but I'm way more interested in the animals than the coral and other plants and microscopic organisms.
@ElisseeLOL You must not have listened too closely to my video :) Coral are animals, too, even though they don't look like what we think of as an animal. But that aside, there are lots of marine mammal vets. Many of them work at zoos and aquariums and at other sites throughout the world. I'm sure it would be a very fun field to get into.
@hussain879 Not at all dude. If it's that bad, it just means your first course of action is to move. Besides, doesn't Dubai have an expansive coastline?
Well yeah moving could be the number one option but I have no idea where exactly to go , or which college and it's not exactly easy to travel with an Iraqi passport. Also my family is really against and they always tell me you won't get a job and all that talk.
Yeah Dubai does have all that but it's all for tourists and cool living styles , no great marine life like in Australia or something.
I am an architect student and we are to design a cabin/lakehouse for a Marine Biologist. Gotta get to know your client and the field of study they are interested in before you can start designing.
i wanna be a marine biologist im in college but i dont know what classes to get because i wanna go to a good university can you please send a message to my inbox with some info thank you for your time
yeah the reason why i want to be a marine biologist is because we have a saltwater fish tank and i love sitting and watching it grow and i really want to know more about how corals work
I'm only twelve and i would love being a marine biologist. I think its the coolist thing when i i ask my friends what they want to be its usually like vet or doctor, and when I tell them I want to be a marine biologist, their like really? whats that? I explian and they want to be it because its a really entresting job!
@kristiisshaweet Yes! I've been meaning to make more but have been quite busy. I'm currently working on a clip about my field research on the tropical island of Curacao. I promise to have it up very soon. Thanks for your interest and comments!
@crumguy321 I went to the University of Vermont for undergraduate and I majored in Biology with a minor in Environmental Chemistry. For graduate school I'm attending Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego, where I'm (I'm sure you've guessed it) working towards a Ph.D. in marine biology.
Hey there...Im 13 years old and I really want to be a Marine Biologist when I get older its been my dream job since I was about 7 I know a quite a bit,but could you maybe give me some information and tips about it and what type of qualitys would I need like I know you have to be good at science lol (Not my best subject but getting better) Ohh and one more whats your favourite thing about being a Marine Biologist?? Thanks :)
@kristiisshaweet As with any profession, having a graduate degree (e.g., Master's, Ph.D.) opens up more opportunities and pays better. But there are interesting marine biology jobs out there that can be had with a bachelor's and will pay enough for a comfortable living.
@YawningBoy You can absolutely be a marine biologist with a bachelor's. I know lots of people who do research in labs or work at aquariums who do not have a doctorate. Generally, I would say that a doctorate is necessary for people who want to teach or (eventually) run their own research programs. In other words, there are lots of jobs out there for which a bachelor's is sufficient.
Noo i love coral.... its my nickname! ALso it's my dream job to be a marine biologist since i was like 7 adn now I'm fifteen and my dream is still going strong.
@adrienna95 There are many definitions, but I would say that marine biology is one area of study within oceanography, which often includes biology, chemistry and physics. Marine biology usually refers to studying plants and animals in the ocean and how they interact with their environment.
@tcantu24 Congrats on applying. I love Scripps. Having world class researchers in a broad range of disciplines allows students to draw on experts in all fields to investigate a diverse array of questions. This has directly benefited my work. Our labs, ships and organizational strength sets up students well for a successful graduate career and living in San Diego is great, too.
Damn what a life bra this is what i wanna do when i get older what grades are really required for this i get A's and B's i am a good student in science and math but a little lacking in english is this gonna pull me down
@TheMrJakethesnake that is the exact same with me. I think you have raised a really valid point. For the most part i assume you wouldn't need a high standurd in english, but what about writing reports and stuff.
@TheMrJakethesnake English is important. You're correct that you'll need strong writing skills to communicate your science. That said, it can be learned so don't be discouraged. My writing, especially in terms of science writing, improved a ton during undergrad and grad school.
Hello I am from Holland, and I really want to become a marine biologist! I want to study it in New Zealand and work with sharks. Is there any good university to study it? (maybe the university of Auckland)
Hello, great video. I am and have been very interested in the ocean and the animals that live in it. I am wanting to make marine biology my major but I have a few questions. I am debating on going to the University of Hawaii at Manoa or the University of Alaska Southeast. Do you know which one will probably be better? Also how hard is it to find a job afterwards? Is it a requirement to get your master's degree? What jobs are out there? Like what would I end up doing on a daily basis?
@VillarbaDye In terms of choosing a school, in particular for undergrad, it really depends on the types of ecosystems you want to study (at least to begin with - you can branch out later on). Hawaii and Alaska both have fascinating marine ecosystems, but they're quite different. So I'd think a bit about the marine life in those two places, while also considering all the other factors (e.g., cost, location, school quality).
@happybear4ever It all depends. When I'm in the field the answer is a lot. My collaborators and I will spend 3-4 hours in the water some days while I'm in the field for 2 months at a time. But of course it all depends on the day!
@obunkystaind yes there are ofc... but it wont stop some people because its just so exciting and if you want to research sharks or other deadly sea creatures you have to be prepared...you wont jump into the ocean without some kind of gear....would you? :D
I'm originally from Monterey, CA and I moved to Kansas for a girl and to study biology, but I miss the ocean like crazy and want a career that puts me on it or around it. Another hopeful, but it all comes down to desire I guess. I think I'll be looking at studying marine biology in grad school. It sounds like such a rewarding, fascinating, and adventurous career. Put me in the field!
@mkraft1212 There are loads of programs out there and it sounds like you really have the desire. I would suggest researching programs that study topics that interest you, get in touch with a few professors and go from there!
I would love to take marine biology in university. The problem is that I've taken an A level equivalent in software engineering, so I doubt any of the universities will accept my qualification and let me in, especially if students with A levels in biology and maths are applying. If I'm right, it sucks.
@Harmonyww Many universities don't look at your high school grades when allowing you to take classes, so I would guess you'd be able to take marine biology classes.
Hey guys, sorry I've been slow in responding to your questions. The reason is that I'm preparing for a research trip to Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, located way in the southern Caribbean, just above Venezuela. This will be my third trip and I'll be there for almost two months studying adult and baby corals. Many of you have asked me to vlog my trips, so I'm going to try it this time. Stay posted for more videos soon!
I REALLY want to be a marine biologist. I hope to specialize in how sharks and other large mammals survive in their habitats. I would LOVE to go into the field and swim with sharks... Any tips for my future??
i want to be a marine biologist realy bad and got a good start i just moved from forney texas to panama city florida but i am realy just concerned about the pay will it be enough to sustain a fun life style and what are the benifits
You can work for all kinds of organizations, be they universities, high schools, aquariums, environmental consulting companies, federal and state agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and others; the list is really quite long and diverse!
Marine biology really interests me. This is a real interesting video.
In high school i took a class in Marine Biology and it really got me hooked onto observing and looking beyond the ocean. I knew alot when the year ended.
Right now im a Freshmen in community college and i have to start deciding in what to major in. Im planning in studying at Humboldt or Monterey Bay after im able to transfer. But im still deciding in what to do. Right now Is Environmental Engineer or a Oceanographer.
i think marine biology is something extremely interesting and fascinating, i want to be a marine biologist, but i have a biig problem.. i suck at math! my teacher says that if i want to study biology i have to be good at it.. is that true?
@sheidyelizabeth17 Not really. But you do need to take science and math courses in college. Calculus at least for math. You dont have to be extremely good; just do really well in class.
Im also horrible in math; but i enjoy doing it once i know how to do it.
Math is important but, no, you don't have to be the best math student in order to be a marine biologist. In my opinion statistics is one of the most important forms of math that you can take. Stats are crucial for working through data and testing hypotheses. So just keep working at it and do your best!
Definitely go to Australia if you have the opportunity! I haven't been but everything that I've read suggests that the marine life is amazing. Marine biology can be difficult - like figuring out what questions to ask and how to set up experiments - but it's so enjoyable that I hardly notice. My work ends up being more like a puzzle to piece together (fun!) than it does a difficult math problem (not as fun). Classes on marine bio are always fun, though, count on that!
how would i get into marine biology? i have average grades in high school..but marine biology and marine animal preservation has always interested me.
See if there are any aquariums around that you can volunteer at to get experience. If not, even working with organizations that work with lakes and rivers can get you started, then you work on the ocean later on down the road. If you go to college then you can try to find one with marine biology classes, or just do general biology like I did, and then specialize in marine biology later.
Ok thanks

@MboroMarksman4 I'm not sure what schools offer the best undergrad marine biology degrees, but there are a limited number of schools that have it so I would just do an internet search. I was a general biology major in undergrad and fully believe that you don't have to major in marine bio to go on to study it in graduate school. Doing research as a undergrad is really important for moving on to grad school and that's where I'd suggest doing work related to the ocean, lakes, or rivers.

Hey! Thanks for sharing this video! (: Loved it!
I have a question! I'm really into nature and obviously marine life. I want to do something with marine life that especially involves conservation and activism, getting people aware and getting things done to help save our marine life. Do you have any idea's as to what i could specify as? Or are these mainly things marine biologists do on the side and not as a specialty? And what would be the best for me to study to get there? Thanks a LOT! ^^

@yuexiong As an undergrad I majored in general biology and minored in environmental sciences chemistry. I didn't truly start studying marine biology until grad school, so you can do that. But if you have opportunities as an undergrad to study the ocean in some way--whether it's in a class or through doing research in a lab--I would really suggest it because it will give you a step up heading to grad school.

Hi. I'm 30 year old, graduated school at 27 and have worked as a computer engineer for 3 years now. I hate my job and my major. I've been thinking about studying marine biology with the money I've been saving. What would you say if I were your close friend and asked you about starting a new career as a marine biologist in the age 30? would you encourage him or her to do so? All I've been hearing from my friends and families are negative.

@madnessdexter It depends. As a mechanical engineer you're trained as a scientist and presumably have extensive knowledge of math, which is great. While you might be weaker on the biology side, there is a lot of engineering that goes into building the instruments that marine biologists use to study the ocean. We can't get very deep, so we need instruments that make measurements for us all the way down to the ocean floor. And we couldn't do that work without engineers.

@YawningBoy You can absolutely be a marine biologist with a bachelor's. I know lots of people who do research in labs or work at aquariums who do not have a doctorate. Generally, I would say that a doctorate is necessary for people who want to teach or (eventually) run their own research programs. In other words, there are lots of jobs out there for which a bachelor's is sufficient.

VillarbaDye 1 year ago
@VillarbaDye In terms of choosing a school, in particular for undergrad, it really depends on the types of ecosystems you want to study (at least to begin with - you can branch out later on). Hawaii and Alaska both have fascinating marine ecosystems, but they're quite different. So I'd think a bit about the marine life in those two places, while also considering all the other factors (e.g., cost, location, school quality).

Definitely go to Australia if you have the opportunity! I haven't been but everything that I've read suggests that the marine life is amazing. Marine biology can be difficult - like figuring out what questions to ask and how to set up experiments - but it's so enjoyable that I hardly notice. My work ends up being more like a puzzle to piece together (fun!) than it does a difficult math problem (not as fun). Classes on marine bio are always fun, though, count on that!

See if there are any aquariums around that you can volunteer at to get experience. If not, even working with organizations that work with lakes and rivers can get you started, then you work on the ocean later on down the road. If you go to college then you can try to find one with marine biology classes, or just do general biology like I did, and then specialize in marine biology later.
