Marine Biologist

Kaimātai Koiora Moana

Marine biologists study plants and animals that live in seawater, and their relationships with each other and their environment.

To become a marine biologist, you don't necessarily need to go to a college that offers a marine biology degree. You don't even need to go to a school with an ocean nearby. The key to becoming a successful marine biologist starts with a solid background in basic science, biology, chemistry, and physics.

One day I would love to become a marine biologist so I would be able to work with dolphins turtles and all of the other sea animals.

        Marine biologist get paid $55K-$75K
