Professionals say that you need to start preparing in High School, or even before. You need to take as many math and science classes as possible and you want to keep a high GPA. You need to know a lot of math and science to be a Marine Biologist. You have to be able to work with animals well and love them to be able to be a successful Marine Biologist.
ReplyDeleteThe training that you need to be a Marine Biologist is that you:
ReplyDelete*Need to know how to swim. You Scuba Dive, Swim, and Snorkel, because you spend a lot of time in the waters. What you do in the water is research the species of animals that live in the water, and look and take pictures of the underwater life.

-They need to type up notes:
* They type up the notes that are about what they are currently doing, and what they are discovering. They can be researching information, and they need to type it up so that if they are in a hurry it’s legible to read.
-They research other fish and marine life to see if it’s already discovered or if there is anything on the internet about the research.
That job sounds like a lot of work but I think it is a great job.
