Abbey SimmonsHoff May 29, 2014Aquatic BiologyWhat is aquatic biology? Aquatic biology is very similar to marine biology in that you study ecology, the behavior of plants and animals, and microbes; However, instead of focusing primarily on saltwater, aquatic biologists study things like rivers, wetlands, ponds, and other freshwater resources (princetonreview.com). Being an aquatic biologist comes with a lot of crazy experiences, some in college, some with diving, and some with environmental preservation. Growing up and being an aquatic biologist is not something you would ever regret. Aquatic biology is so complex and there are so many things to know and do with it. The environments in which aquatic biologists study are probably some of the most diverse and interesting environments ever. They also help save the environment! So make a difference in the world today and become an aquatic biologist. To have a good career you should have gone to some college and know what you are talking about. Ashley Simmons says, “College classes are really just core classes like English, history, biology, etc. Although for aquatic biology you have to take biology because without it it would be useless. Some classes are essential like math, science, engineering, and physics” (Simmons). The requirements for studying to become an aquatic biologist are very simple. There aren't many, but obviously you need some requirements because you need experience and you need to have standards. Immersion is one of these requirements. “To study to be an aquatic biologist you have to actually get in the water, so a lot of diving is required. Most are freshwater, but some may be saltwater just for the overall experience. (Simmons)...... center of paper...... ams and other things like wetlands to help them. Then, the Obama administration will ensure that our water is no longer at risk from pollution for nearly a third of all Americans (www.cleanwateraction.org). Recycling is also a very important part of saving the Earth. When we recycle, we can save many animals such as turtles. Plastic in the ocean can kill turtles, but they're not the only ones. Water pollution puts all animals at risk. Dolphins, whales, sharks, turtles and other fish are in extreme danger due to water pollution. We have to recycle if we want to stop this. Recycling helps extend the life and usefulness of something that has already served its initial purpose by producing something that is usable. Recycling has many benefits and importance not only for us humans, but more importantly for our planet. Almost everything can be recycled, so let's start now.
