Marine Biology is an increasingly important area of study, if for no other reason than more than 70% of the U.S. population lives within a one hour drive of the coast; indeed, more than 60% of the world population lives within 60 km of the coast. The human impact on the coastal zone, and deeper waters are of critical concern.
Marine biology graduates go on to careers in academic research in ecology and evolution, cell biology and physiology, fisheries studies and biological and physical oceanography. There are many alternate potential careers for marine science graduates, including aquaculture, state environmental regulation, waste water and coastal zone management, marine animal care and management, environmental consulting and marine pharmaceutics.
