I'm a bit more of a marine _paleo_ biologist... Basically I try to piece together and understand marine life long ago - for instance, in a sea that once covered Europe, ~70 million years ago :)
THATS SO COOL
Paleontology and marine biology are both huge interests of mine and this sounds like such a cool way to merge those
@@raccoongf Dude that's excellent, keep up the brilliant work :D
But just as a heads up, if you want to get into paleontology, you should definitely read up on (or study) earth sciences. Paleo is just as much geology as it is biology :)
@@raccoongf Wait you legit have earth sciences in _high school_ ?? Dude you're lucky, I had to teach myself that stuff
That's inspiring
@christianv-h3278 you should tell how to become one as both the subjects are also a huge interest of mine too but it's complicated to the information from internet

I'd become a marine biologist for many reasons: 1. I love Animals 2. I love researching stuff about science 3. For the amazingly beautiful animals to see 4. to under stand the ecosystem and animals 5. The beautiful sights to see under water 6. I don’t mind tons of writing. 7. Travel 8. Start my own research team and lab 9. Write a book about marine animals facts research and science 10. Research and study turtles, manatees, whales, seals, and walruses 11. To help the world understand animals more. 12. To see if anything medical can be made from something from nature.
I want to use chemistry to help with my research in the future.
I have heard there is a great marine biology degree in a college or university in Hawaii
I don't know how i can combine my love for chemistry and marine biology.
Ah trust me, you can definitely combine chemistry and marine biology. Many underwater biological processes depend on the chemistry of the water and atmosphere. For instance, corals using (ionic? i think) carbon present in the water to form the basis of their calcium-carbonate-based structure.
Keep that passion and you'll go far :)
Good luck with your dreams, It's a very wonderful dream and it would be very impactful for the future of science and medical needs 😁🙌❤
I really want to become a marine biologist for similar reasons but one of the principals reasons is to save the corals but I have a problem... the English isn't my native language and I scare that can affect me :(
First one because in my country there's not job for be a marine biologist
Hi! I'm from Hawaii and I'm in the same boat :) I live on Oahu, but next year after I graduate High school i plan on going to University of Hawaii at Hilo to study marine bio. I would look at their website! They have details about each major listed at the univeristy. They even have a marine program! Where you can dive and more. There's also UH Manoa here on oahu, although I haven't looked into that university as much. But I can tell you there is alot of marine life here! Even more so around the Big island and Kauai
1st paragraph: great! So true. Me too!!
3rd paragraph: yes, I heard about that too, it sounds amazing, I've researched it. I kinda wanna go there too😅 but no worries, I'm not even in uni yet. Also, you're pretty much bound to use chemistry in whatever you do in marine biology
I'm 15 and I've wanted to be a marine biologist for probably over 7 years. I have ADHD and probably Autism as well, and maine biology, and zoology in general, has been a huge special interest of mine for as long as I can remember. I'm a sophomore though and college is coming way too quickly for my liking. Recently I've been considering Paleontology or Astronomy as a career as well as Marine Biology. I just found your channel and i can already tell how helpful it's going to be in deciding what i want to major in. Thank you for putting out content
Hey same bruh
No way, we're in the exact same boat. Although I have OCD as well, what a coincidence I found this. Rooting for you lmao
wtff me too i have adhd and ive wanted to become amaeine bilogist as well first i saw a guy in anime being a marine bilogist jut then i ddi reserch it looka so funnn
Hassan salman ayy we should start a group do you want to swap numbers or instagrams or something?
Faraquet ayy we should start a group do you want to swap numbers or instagrams or something?
If you haven't already, can you do a video about some of the type of lab work that you do? Love your videos!
I'm a conservationist, I've worked/volunteered in marine Conservation and I can 100% support everything you say!! The rewards from working in conservation are incredible!
I'm at the very beginning of my career (I'm 23 years old) and I'm currently dicing which direction I want to take my career. I've always loved the marine environment, its truly where my passion lies. Marine biology has always fascinated me, so I love your videos!! Marine biology is definitely an option I want to consider! 😊
I love the ocean and animals, and the sheer vastness of life contained within our many seas (and pockets of water beneath the earth!) was incredible. Two things held me back from actually pursuing anything in biology, though:
1. I suck at math.
2. I remembered that after watching Jaws as a kid, I couldn't even get into the bathtub for a few weeks without worrying about a shark coming up out the drain to get me. I've since recovered and love diving and the ocean, but I know I'm probably one giant squid hug away from swearing off baths again.
I am absolutely FACINSATED in the ocean, for as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to study marine life. But damn is the ocean scary as hell, that's one of the one things that deter me from pursuing a life as a marine biologist. Still gonna do it tho lmao.
I agree. The ocean can be really scary. That's one reason why I want to do it. Get over my fear of sharks and being close to coral and reefs
I was sure I would find a fellow one piece fan in the comment section
still doing it?
Study lake life to help overcome the fear.
I've been fascinated by the ocean as long as I can remember and wanted to be a marine biologist growing up, but as school ended I decided to explore a different path, and I've only just started thinking about marine biology again recently, and it's like a light bulb went off in my head! Why I didn't just go into marine biology straight after school I'll never know, but it seems I needed a little life experience to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and I've never been more sure of anything! I only just discovered your channel but everything you've said in your videos that I've watched so far resonates with me in a way that just reaffirms my passion for the ocean! Thank you for sharing your insight into this wonderful field!
I am currently getting my biology degree to go towards becoming a marine biologist. I love the ocean and our aquatic friends that enhabit them. I want to do my part in keep the oceans safe and clean.
I want to become marine biologist because I want to protect animals and plants. Since I was a kid, I love to see animal documentaries. I love the sea also, I'm feeling just so calm when I am near sea. I want to do research about things in the sea as jellyfish or octopus to find molecules to help fighting against diseases. I really want to save the most of the biodiversity in the ocean/sea because the impact of the global warming isn't know well and I'm sick about what can happen in the future. Also, I wish I could share my knowledges in the future with everyone. Olders and youngers. Everyone has something to share and to learn.
Maria! your work is amazing! Huge supporter behind all you do. I can gladly say that all these reasons to become a marine biologist was everything i had in mind! I am especially interested in lab work. One day i hope to work with great people with great minds like yours! its super inspiring for a high school student who has less than one year left of schooling. watching your videos seriously helps me pin point careers.
This video is so motivational, I'm a student studying environmental sciences on a career path to marine biology, this video just showed me the goals of my work
Hi Maria, I love watching your videos and thank you so much for all the advice. Although I'm only in high school now, I am really interested in Marine Biology as a career one day.
Hi Maria!!!!😊
I loved watching this. I would really love to become a marine biologist, and watching your videos is really encouraging... like you said, hearing people talk about their passion is very motivating😉. I hope I will work in marine conservation too one day😊....Btw, I love the shark in the background💕
Anyway, great video😄❤!!!
Hi there. Just wanna say I love your videos. And yes I'm also studying Marine Science and Research though while enlisted in the military. I have always been fascinated with animals when I was a child. Due to our country being the Maldives marine life is the the most diverse wildlife we have here and I mostly grew up going fishing, collecting fishes, etc. And being mostly tropical islands and reefs the demand for Marine Scientists and Biologists are extremely high with the large amounts of bio diversity. Anyhow it's a haven for marine biologists like yourselves We house among the largest Manta ray and whale shark biospheres in the world.
I love the process of learning,adventure and the ocean. thats why I want to be a marine biologist. I love to find information/research of what I do and the connection between them. its worth when I found something that not everyone know about. I love the diversity too so Im never get bored 😄
There are many benefits to being a marine biologist
I start my journey in majoring Biology this Fall, and then transferring over to Marine science. I am in for a long journey and late nights but it will all be worth it helping sea life.
I really love to be a marine biologist thanks for sharing this information
Very informative video, that's really helpful. I love biology, especially the more ecological side of things and I have always loved the ocean so I'm looking into doing marine biology at uni as I'm interested in research. Overall are you glad you do marine biology?
I wanted to become a marine biologist since I was a kid, and honestly right now I am almost done with an associate's degree in a completely different field. I was hoping to finally make the switch to help my favorite animals fight against their extinction. I love sharks so much, and I can't wait to get into this exciting field to learn more about them and the other mysteries of our oceans.
Nice post, Maria. I like your information and how you presented it. Plus, you look a little like Mary Padian from Storage Wars....and she's cool!
this job is absolutely perfect for me in every single aspect. I don’t care how many hardships I’ll face in the field, this is what I want to pursue.
Love this so much
I Love everything about this video the thing that you said about conservation is 100% true!
I am up for anything that comes my way when I get into marine biology, I am more looking forward to what new things would come around in my life when I go for this profession and I am very passion about bringing some ideas and maybe helping out the community and being involved with the community of Marine Biology.
Hi! I am a new subscriber and I am definitely interested in your content on this channel. As you might have guessed, I am interested in becoming a marine biologist, but I am not sure exactly what area I am most interested in. At the moment, I am in my mid twenties trying to attain my bachelor's degree in marine biology.
I am like this field because I live on an island in the Caribbean, and in my opinion, there are very few marine biologists in the Caribbean and in my country specifically there is not much knowledge. Even though I live on an island, I find that lots of people are afraid of the sea. (The fear of the unknown.) I also feel like people do know understand and appreciate the ecological services that the sea provides and I want to edify others and do research to help this knowledge be sound.
Overall, I need more Caribbean scientists are needed and I think that there is a massive knowledge gap when it comes to these type of fields in third world countries (In my humble, inexperienced opinion of course).
I hope you didn't mind reading this essay lol, but I look award to your knew content on this channel.
I've watched both videos and it's just made me more determined
Thanks😍😍 I'm gonna do it
I'm starting my study in marine biology two weeks and I am very excited. Watching your videos to be even better prepared
how is it?
@@thedetector077 only had the introduction days, the real lessons begin today
@@elswiskerke1076 how was it now?
Many things in my life happened, they caused me to study marine animals. They showed me that I love animals, especially marine
Hi! When I was 9, I began to feel a strong connection for the ocean. My journey started with fun and engaging books about science and wild life. I became instantly obsessed with dolphins and whales, especially humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins and killer whales! I have been able to scuba dive with humpback whales, surf with dolphins and snorkelling with killer whales! I have recently got my scuba diving certificate and have been in a swimming club for over 4 years! Marine biology is my dream. Marine biology is my passion.

I think ill stick with insects but you do interest me with the stuff you tell us about the sea 😊 we are all linked to it somehow
Insects are also very important = ) and in the end everything is linked
@@Seamemaria aww im glad you think so 😊 i was surprised to find out that sharks have no bones?
@@kyliekay447 Yeah. Sharks and rays have cartilage instead of bones. Pretty awesome
When I get older I want to be a marine biologist. I would like to focus on sea turtles. My favorite kind are Green sea turtles. I was wondering what is your favorite kind?
Hi, I may still be young but for years I have been focusing on becoming a Marine biologist mainly because how the ocean and marine life coexist, adapt and change. And how much of ocean life we still don't know about, along with me also want to do some traveling and meeting new people in my lifetime. I personally love a challenging experience, I'm good in biology related science not so much in physical 😅
Take a look at Marine Ecology and Evolutionary Ecology. I am a specialist in the former and looking at the latter, and they would fit what you want to look at down to the ground. With an Ecosystems approach you are looking at Marine Biology from a broad perspective, and it is very much a highly multidisciplinary way of looking at Biology
I want to become a marine biologist because when ever I go to the aquarium I just fall in love with the lay out, the deep gloomy blue satisfied me, that music that is so inspiring I just love it, I love the ocean and animals! im only 10 and I have many marine biology studies! I have loads of marine biology books, shark teeth to study, so im really confident and passionate about my future :)
I CANT WAIT :D
I'm a week into my degree of becoming a marine Biologist 💕 And I'm excited lol
How’s the degree going :0
How is it going? I’m really struggling on my decision to become one
@@taylorharris268 yeah me tooo. People helps demotivating
Want to work in conservation as a lifes calling! Going to learn as much as i can so i can finally get my degree and start saving our islands ecological future!
Hello Maria, i loved this video! I am now in the process of doing a masters in marine biology. This is a 2 year masters and right now i’m in the finishing the first semester. This year has been so heavy on the course load and just feels like an extension of a bachelor degree, i’m a bit disappointed and dont know whether i should stop and look at another institution or continue with the second year. Do you have any suggestions?
Reasons why I want to become a marine biologist
1 i love the Ocean
2 i love animals
3 I want to protect the ocean from pollution
4 I want to educate people more on the ocean
5 I want to explore more of the ocean because 95% of the earth is covered in water and we only have discovered 5% so I want to explore and see what's living in the ocean... and my parents want me to become a doctor😕
those are my reasons to become a marine biologist too , don't listen to ur parents just study to become waht u want is your life not their life
Same here parents wants me to become a doctor
LMAO this is me. Parents don't know shizz smh. Let's save the ocean and map it like the explorers we are fam 😎
I like this video
I have been interested in being a marine biologist since before I can remember. Since my first time seeing the ocean. I've never wanted absolutely anything else and have arrived towards it. I am barely 18 and finish my first college degree (AA) next month and I don't know what university to choose. Or what exactly to study. I just know I love all things and am a licensed scuba diver (rescue) of many years. My biggest problem is I want more field than lab work and as I learn more I see it's more lab than field
So I'm only 12 but I'm still a aspiring marine biologists. A question I have is thare a way to spend a little more time in the water. I'm conpleatly fine staying in a lab or in front of a screen but I'm able to learn more hands on or just close up. Sorry if I went on a rant but just wanted to know. Thanks!
Great vedio 🤩👏👍
Does the same applies with physical oceanography..?!
Hi, Maria, I've few questions. I'm completely new to your channel. This is what I'm planning to do in future or at least anything in environmental biology.
I don't know how to swim, let alone dive, will I be getting training for diving in the college/uni if I major in it?
And also, I don't want alot of money but just enough for myself to get by 🙂 is it a trustworthy path in that sense?
Thank you for your informing video s🙏
Yes you learn how to scuba dive and all that.
Hi! I have already learnt how to scuba dive and I'm only 13! I definatley reccomend getting lessons as early as you can. You have more of a chance of getting to study marine biology aswell as being able to dive with friends whenever you want! One rule I learnt, Never, ever dive alone
Diving is not a prerequisite, it depends what field you study. Marine Biology is a *huge* field, and there are specialisations within Marine Biology that will never require you to dive during your career.
Saying that, most marine Biologists I know dive even if it is only as a hobby. Personally I started as a Diver before going into Marine Biology, training as a technical Diver, during which I was on contract to a research group as a support and Scientific Diver for their dive team. They convinced me to apply for a degree in Marine Bio and so I did.
As I said though, depending on what field you study, diving may not be a requirement for you.
@@alganhar1 cool! Thanks for the information: :)
I'm interested in becoming a marine biologist and eventually working for the department Of Fisheries in Western Australia.
I was told in year 11 by a family friend (who is a teacher) not to do it as it's highly a competitive field.
I want to do it to see if I'm capable. Some members of my family have laughed at me because I hated school and yet I want to go to uni.
So did I, I went to Uni quite a number of years after leaving school. Trained as a technical Diver, but had always been interested in the Sea. That led me to working for a group for a while as a Scientific Diver on contract, and they convinced me to apply for a Marine Biology degree, which I did. Nice thing in my case is that I always had that Technical Diving to fall back on, so that has added some stability in my career.
you set your own limits, if you shoot for the moon, you’ll at-least be amongst the stars. Go for it my friend.
I've looked in to the field of Ichthyology as well as Marine Biology, and I'm scared to try and enter either field and then not be able to do any field work. I would like to study fish and their day to day life styles, not so much as study the world around the fish (if that makes sense?), but I can't seem to find what can lead me to that point. Any suggestions?
I am very addicted to Dolphins! I love Dolphins! Very much.☺
I just realized I have the same Ikea lamp light as you lol.
Can u get like sound things put in certain parts of the ocean to hear sounds deep down like Isn’t there a thing that u can go on a bit to the middle of the ocean were u can see it goes deep and drop a camera or sound monitor down there without diving?
I took Marine Biology as a major in an accident now I’m researching more about it.... help me....
Awesome video
Thanks! =)
One thing i like about marine biology is dealing with whales
Welcome

Any job that helps the environment and animals deserves to have best pay
I want to become a marine biologist
Explain some topics you study... Please..
Hello I’m interesting about been a marine biologist but where did you do your studies ??
i want to become a marine biologist!!
Hey, im currently an a level student and I wanna pursue marine biology for as long as i can remember. The only problem im facing right now are my grades in Physics. Im really good in biology and chemistry but im really bad at physics.. sooo I just wanted to know if its possible to be a marine biologist if im not good at physics?
same question.. hope someone answers this soon
Hey im following the Fisheries & Marine Sciences degree at college. And i wanna know to get a job i that field should i follow MSc & PHD as well?
How much does someone get paid though is it good pay or at least living pay and be able to pay rent and grocery and still have some extra?
I want the adventure and the knowledge that I’m helping animals though I’ve already finished my first semester getting my vet tech degree. I didn’t discover marine biology until after I started becoming a vet tech and unfortunately I can’t do both and the kind of job I want if I become a marine biologist will be a lot of years of out of state college and I’m not sure I am ready to live far away from my family.
I studied at Galveston A&M for two years under the marine biology major. I could go back right now for about a year-and-a-half to two years and finish my Bachelor of marine biology. The thing is that was a long time ago. I switched Majors to architecture and have spent most of my career as an architect. Every time I visit Galveston I get that itch to go back to school and finish. I love the ocean and I love Galveston but at this point it feels risky to change careers. I'm 57 years old. I feel young and look young and I've got a lot of years ahead of me. Anybody got any advice for me?
Go for it if your heart says so! You only live once’
Do marine biologists need money to spend on the research I love your videos
why i would want to be a marine biologist:
fishe. fishe cool.
If I may ask, do you really need to take the masters to get a decent job in marine biologist? And what are some jobs you can get for a certain degree? :> Thank you very much :>
Hi Mika. I would say you do need a masters degree at least. And if you want to pursue research you will probably need a PhD afterwards. I am not really knowledgeable on marine biology jobs outside the research field, but I think that a masters and/or PhD would probably be required, unless you have extraordinary working experience and a very good network, because you will be competing with other people who probably have a graduate degree. Hope this helped
Ohh, i see. Thank you very much for answeringg :>
Best regards to you and also keep safeee :3
@@mikashiota8811 These days going Undergrad - Masters - PhD is pretty much mandatory if you want to go into research either in or outside Academia. There are a few exceptions but they are *very* few and far between.
You can pursue some support positions without a Graduate degree, and some other positions with some kind of Graduate degree like a Masters or an MPhil, but for research you need that PhD.
i love the ocean. every time i'm around people i always just want to talk about the ocean because it's so amazing a beautiful. it's actually really disappointing to me how people just disrespect what is 75% of this earth so easily. i want to help in protecting the ocean, and also learning more about it.
👌🏼
i’ve watched a video about marine biologist it says it had math and i hate math but i want to become a marine biologist
what degrees must you have in order to become a marine biologist?
Hello I'm abt to start my masters in marine biology in the next academic year well I had a question abt my eyesight I dont have a good eyesight will it be hard to get in the field. But im still gonna do it coz its my passion and love
Don't worry dude you can still get in the field as long as you know what you are seeing
I’m only 12 but I want to be a marine biologist and it will so cool because the fish and the reefs are amazing but I’m not sure if it will be the right path to go. It seems hard to find a job and I would have to move from Tennessee. I am worry wart so if any one that is or know something about marine biology and it’s wonders please respond with some reassurance. 😊
What about marine biology in Asia or Australia?
🖤🖤
There are many benefits to being a marine biologist.
I've heard the pay sucks. Is that true?
I assume since you study micro organisms you must work in a lab for the mass amount of time you work so since I wish to study in the field of cetology I may not be in the lab as much but these are assumptions and I cannot find a day in the life of a cetologist. If anyone has any knowledge on what work life is like for someone in the field of cetology, please respond :)
Hi Mam, I am very much interested in joining Marine Biology, so what can i do to achieve it. I am now studying in class 11. Can you please give me advice...!!!
pretty stupid question coming up but i play football and im going to a hbcu shpuld i majof in biology since they dont have anything else.
i dont have the bwst grades but i have avarge can i still be one i reallly want tooo
😍😍😍🤩
Recommend any good books about the ocean or related?
Tom Garrison's Oceanography: Introduction to Marine Sciences is a very detailed and great book!
The world is Blue by Sylvia Earle is a good one too :)

Can you interact with animals?
I’m having trouble deciding between studying to become a marine biologist or a veterinarian:/
Why not be a marine veterinarian and be a fish doctor? www.thebalancecareers.com/aquatic-veterinarian-125789
I have doubt regarding the higher education of marine microbiologist overseas. can you help me with your mail ID?
well there is other section of marine biology, like deep sea biology witch u are most of the time deep under the ocean!! 🦭
Deep sea biologists are almost never underwater. They collect samples and data using robots and other devices from land or from ships. Unfortunately... it would be really cool to go deep
