marine-biologist Occupational skill for the role 'marine biologist' (also: marine ecologist, marine biology researcher, marine botanist, sea biologist, researcher in marine biology, marine zoologist). Use when the user asks for typical marine biologist work such as: Study animals in their natural habitats, assessing effects of environment and industry on animals, interpreting findings and recommending alternative operating conditions for industry.; Inventory or estimate plant and wildlife populations.; Analyze characteristics of animals to identify and classify them.

Marine Biologist

Marine biologists study marine living organisms and ecosystems and their interaction underwater. They research on the physiology, the interactions between organisms, their interactions with their habitats, the evolution of marine species, and the role of the environment in their adaptations. Marine biologists also perform scientific experiments in controlled conditions to understand these processes. They also focus on the effects of human activities on the life in the oceans and seas.

Core workflow

  1. Study animals in their natural habitats, assessing effects of environment and industry on animals, interpreting findings and recommending alternative operating conditions for industry.
  2. Inventory or estimate plant and wildlife populations.
  3. Analyze characteristics of animals to identify and classify them.
  4. Disseminate information by writing reports and scientific papers or journal articles, and by making presentations and giving talks for schools, clubs, interest groups and park interpretive programs.
  5. Study characteristics of animals, such as origin, interrelationships, classification, life histories, diseases, development, genetics, and distribution.
  6. Perform administrative duties, such as fundraising, public relations, budgeting, and supervision of zoo staff.
  7. Inform and respond to public regarding wildlife and conservation issues, such as plant identification, hunting ordinances, and nuisance wildlife.
  8. Check for, and ensure compliance with, environmental laws, and notify law enforcement when violations are identified.
