because we need to know what is in the sea
because they are Marine biologists
Yes, marine biologists study the animals they want to understand their behavior, physiology, ecology, and interactions with their environment. By studying these animals, marine biologists can contribute to conservation efforts and better understand marine ecosystems.
oceanographers DarkFoxy: and marine biologists or is that the same thing.... well either way its another term
Marine biologists study animals that live in the sea.
animals in oceans, ponds, and lakes
The study of underwater creatures is called marine biology. Marine biology focuses on the biology, ecology, and behavior of organisms that live in saltwater environments, such as oceans, seas, and estuaries. Marine biologists study a wide range of organisms, from microscopic plankton to large marine mammals.
Marine biologists study marine life, including animals, to understand their behaviors, habitats, and conservation needs. They help animals indirectly by conducting research that informs conservation efforts and policy decisions to protect and preserve marine ecosystems and the species within them.
People who study marine biology are known as marine biologists. They specialize in the study of marine organisms, ecosystems, and environments.
Marine biologists study marine organisms and their interactions with the environment. They may conduct research on marine species, habitats, and ecosystems, as well as work to conserve and protect the ocean and its inhabitants. Marine biologists may also work in education, advocacy, or policy related to marine conservation.
Marine biology
You might be thinking of marine zoology, which is a branch of marine biology. It (marine zoology) deals with the "critters" or creatures or animals in the marine environment. Certainly at the very "end" of the scale of marine creatures are living things that might be either animal or plant in nature. We usually see the more general term marine biologist in use to define someone who works in this area, and then a specialty under that umbrella.
Oceanographers and marine biologists both study the ocean.
