5 Types of Marine Biologists // Careers in Marine Biology

Did you know not all marine biologists do the same thing? This video covers just a taste of the wide range of work a marine biologist may do.
...
DISCLAIMER! - This is mainly based off of my experiences, there is an extremely wide variation of work that each marine biologist within these types may do.

The quality of this video omg you’re making accessibility of this knowledge so much easier for young people!!

This was my first career choice when I was 5. I remember being super obsessed with octonauts( a kids show about ocean exploration) and as soon as I found out I could have a career all about water I said I was gonna be a marine biologist for a longgg time. I got caught up with other interests and found other careers I’d also love to do but today I watched a documentary and saw some of my favorite sea animals and it sort of reconnected me to the potential of getting into the field. I’m 15 so I’ve still got 3 yrs to figure out what I wanna do, and even if I don’t end up being a marine biologist I’m glad I’ve done some research, and regardless I’d definitely love to be in the water more!

Thank you so much for this video....I've been hearing so many things about how Marine Biologists are mostly doing lab work and analyzing. While I wouldn't mind doing that
I really wanted to get into a career where I could be in the field more often...and it seems that marine ecology is for me :) More videos about marine ecology and benthic biology would be great!

Hi! My name is Sydney. I am 13 years old and very interested in being a marine biologist and going to college for that specific major. I am not sure and obviously I have a long way to go. but I get the best feeling being around animals. I found this video very interesting because I want to know what to do after collage and what career path I would like to take in marine biology. Thank you for this! Very easy to understand!

[jamiesjammies]

I’m trying to go to school for marine biology and conservation sciences. This really helped. Thank you.

As a kid it was my dream to be a Marine biologist. It’s still one of the coolest jobs to me . Looks fun

[Marinebioluca]

Cool video! Very focused on the charismatic mega-fauna tho, even though a large part of marine biology is on algae, plankton etc. I think people sometimes get a false image of what marine biology actually is. Of course there are lots of cool jobs on whales, sharks, corals etc. but many marine biologists end up studying processes on a scale that’s invisible to the naked eye. Just a heads up to anybody interested in studying!

[trinn]

Thank you for letting the public know the general name holds so many specialties! Keep going fellow ocean lover.

[vedikarshirtekar]

thank you so much!! i've been wanting to pursue marine ecology in relation with data science and this really helped narrow my focus. subscribed!

im 17 i want to be a marine biologist and have my fun life as a manga artist

Thanks for placing ads where it actually makes sense and not a cliff hanger type ad ❤️

[Jlahandle]

What a good video . Great concise explanation of this .

[levistutzke]

Great explanation, of how the work of marine biologists could be! Very Realistic and in no way giving false hope. thank you

[nadeeshanravindu]

Wow..Because of you I'm going to learn about ocenography ❤️

[Vlvt_cakes]

Thank you so much for this information ! When I was was younger I was literally so interested in becoming one and this helps me so much !

[DeroriMusic]

Awesome vid! Concise explanations are appreciated and you deliver with great confidence :)

[verasantia]

I am a student in Amsterdam, I finished my bachelors in Bioinformatics a year ago, passed my premasters this year in preparation for my master in Freshwater and Marine Biology after summer vacation! I have always wanted to become a biologist and the marine field always fascinated me the most as I grew up on Aruba where I was surrounded by sea! I can only dream I will find such an amazing job. I have actually already had many subjects on benthic biology, coral reef ecology, population modelling and so much more. I am so excited to start working in two years! If you have any tips for me, please share. I am also wondering how the average student finds money and time to do volunteer work next to your studies as I find it really difficult to find time and afford it with my ever increasing student loan/debt (again, tips are very welcome) :)

[CarolReneau-qxqz]

Thank you! This is super useful for our Marine Biology class for 2024.

[chrisbolon]

Thank you so much for this video. I'll be going to college in 2024 and i'm planning to be a marine biologist. My goal is actually to save the ocean environment and its ecosystem so i'm definitely gonna be a marine ecologist. My other goal is to save coral and do reseach in order tompreserve dead reefs and do research on polyps which falls into benthic. You think i should do both?

[SustainabilityWithMaddy]

This is such a fun video, your underwater shots are so impressive!
