Marine biology is the scientific study of the biology of marine life, organisms that inhabit the sea.Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy.
Most marine mammal trainers earn their degrees in marine biology, psychology, and/or animal behavior . Though formal education is very important, it is often better to learn and become familiar with marine mammal behaviors through first-hand experience, under the guidance of an experienced trainer.
Jeanne Villepreux-Power, born Jeanne Villepreux (24 September 1794 – 25 January 1871), was a pioneering French marine biologist, described by English biologist Richard Owen as the "Mother of Aquariophily." In 1832 she was the first person to invent and create aquaria for experimenting with aquatic organisms. [1]
Rachel Louise Carson (May 27, 1907 – April 14, 1964) was an American marine biologist, writer, and conservationist whose sea trilogy (1941–1955) and book Silent Spring (1962) are credited with advancing marine conservation and the global environmental movement.
The Duke University Marine Laboratory (commonly referred to as the Duke Marine Lab) is a research facility and campus of Duke University on Piver's Island, [1] near Beaufort and the Outer Banks, North Carolina specializing in studying marine biology. It is part of the Nicholas School of the Environment's Division of Marine Science and ...
This era of marine exploration came to a close with the first and second round-the-world voyages of the Danish Galathea expeditions and Atlantic voyages by the USS Albatross, the first research vessel purpose built for marine research. These voyages further cleared the way for modern marine biology by building a base of knowledge about marine ...
Here she spent thirteen years working as a junior researcher in California, developing skills in cellular biology, evolutionary biology, and molecular genetics. [7] She was there during the 1998 bleaching event that killed more than 15% of corals across the world. [4] Gates joined the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology in 2003. [8]
This is a list of marine biologists. Jacques-Yves Cousteau, co-inventor of the aqua-lung, is well known for popularizing marine biology. Donald Putnam Abbott (1920–1986), American marine invertebrate zoologist; Isabella Aiona Abbott (1919–2010), American marine botanist; Ali Abdelghany (born 1944), Egyptian marine biologist
