A marine biologist is a person that studies marine biology. They may work in different environments likes oceans and beaches. They also require specific skills including being able to read and write.
Our ocean was the Arctic Ocean. We learned cool new things that was a mystery to us. Some things included here our ocean was located, how big it was, and some of the threats happening in our ocean. A lot of oceans are being threatened by many things including plastic pollution and noise pollution. For example, to keep the ocean clean, always use a trash can or recycle bin to put your trash in. It's better than using the ocean as a waste bin! As a class, we took a field trip to the Dallas World Aquarium. Something cool about it was how not all of the animals really belonged inside of an aquarium. Examples are sloths, panthers, and different kinds of birds. There were lot's of sights to see. It was so much fun! My animal that I researched was the polar bear. I learned about it's taxonomy and where they could be found. I even found out about it's mysterious yellow appearance! In my pamphlet, I included a diagram of my animal, classification, and many more. In the shark dissection, we had the chance to look at the heart, liver, and intestines. This type of shark was called the dog fish shark. My favorite part was the field trip. It was a fun experience to go somewhere I had never been before. I also got to see new animals I had never heard of. QUESTIONS-How many animals are classified to live in the ocean? How many ocean animals are being threatened into extinction right now?

A Marine Biologist is a person that studies Ocean life. Most Marine Biologists work in the ocean, on boats, on beaches, and also in pools containing marine life or plants to study. Marine Biologist need to know how to swim, read, scuba dive, be social, math, and other things to be a good Marine Biologist.
The Pacific Ocean is the Ocean I chose to research. The Pacific Ocean covers 30.5% of the earths surface. The Pacific has the deepest trench out of all of the oceans, and the Pacific Ocean also has the deepest point on all of the earth. There are many ways to protect the oceans. One way to protect the oceans from pollution we could enforce laws on no pollution and make the punishment much harsher to prevent people from polluting the oceans. Onother way would be to make no overfishing a law to keep the balance between the predators and prey so one does not become exstinct which would also lead to the exstinction of animals that eat the species. I researched the Pacific Striped dolphin for my animal research. I researched which zones they live in and where they eat. We also made a 3D model of our animals we We disected a spiny dogfish shark. The spiny dogfish shark has spines to protect itself from bigger prey or predators. We went on a fieldtrip to the Dallas World Aqaurium to learn about marine animals and we also got to see animals that live in the forest. My favorite part was going to the aqaurium. One question I still have is how many species of animals are there in the ocean by: Ryan |
