For those interested in the oceans of the world and the living creatures that call them home, the career of a marine biologist can seem like a dream come true. What could be better than spending you time using SCUBA and submarines to explore the world's oceans, catalogue new types of life, and trying to find answers to the problem facing our oceans today. The rewards are many, but not every day is filled with exciting exploration and hours under water. There is much behind the scenes work, which does not rise into the spotlight, that makes those days in the water possible and productive. The job of a marine biologist requires dedication, patience, and a strong background in science, math, chemistry, and other disciplines.
