Come on the boat with me as I show you what a day in the life of marine biologist is like as we go out sampling for elasmobranchs (sharks and rays).
We use underwater cameras to see what's below the surface and I take you along with me!

I found my interest in becoming a Biologist but recently my parents want me to be a doctor and I struggling a lot to choose a career path. After watching this video this ignited my passion again and NO MATTER what my parents want to be I'll become a Biologist 😊

Unfortunately you have to do lab. You will be in both lab and field. Gotta do not fun stuff to get to the actual fun part.

Idk what kinda oceans you got in Australia cause that is like the smoothest water I’ve ever seen... also absolutely love this video and can’t wait to become a marine biologist when I get older!

I’m 14, and I’m really interested in a LOT of things, but it’s all science related, and I love animals, so might as well do something animal/science related, I know I got a little while to decide but I’d like to explore my options, I’m not a HUGE fan of swimming, but I think I’d be sick to like work with the sharks and swim with em or something. Idk

I have basically no experience in diving but I do have some interest in marine biology. To be honest, i'm quite stressed about career paths at the moment cause i'm getting closer and closer to college but I still don't have a clear idea about what field I want to study in... Do you have any tips on how I should get started on getting experience in diving and marine biology in general? I do have quite a lot of interest in the plant life aspects of marine biology so do you know if that would involve a lot of diving? Loved the video btw it was super interesting!

@just_a_wandering_soul7845 11 ай бұрын

Hi marine biology master here. I know this is late but if anyone else is also wondering. No you do not have to dive. It is obviously a plus but usually (at least in my country) we have scientific divers. Depending on what kind of plant life you want to study snorkelling might also be enough. Plus most of the work will be in the lab analysing your samples. Hope that helps someone 😊

@mappleby_ 4 ай бұрын

There are so many areas on marine biology and zoology, the vast majority should not be touching animals anyway. I’m some field and lab work you will, as scientists we should be observing without having to touch them unless the animals are being tagged or captured for assessment or relocation.
