Marine Biologist are important to society for many reasons. A perfect example of why society needs to maintain biodiversity and study the organisms and life around them is for research and development.

Recently, my grandfather underwent triple bypass surgery and it was absolutely incredible that the doctors were able to glue up his veins with a special glue that hardens in aqueous environments. The whole chemical reaction and idea of the glue came from a marine worm that builds it home by gluing together pieces of sand underwater. That technological advancement was the result of a marine biologist studying the marine environment.
