me for career advice. I'm not an oceanographer or a marine biologist.
I am a retired nurse with a love for molluscs. I cannot provide informed
career advice for marine biology and oceanography.

of the sea, its contents, and the surrounding environment. Often, they are
chemists, physicists, biologists, or geologists who bring their special skills
to ocean studies. They collaborate with one another and with engineers and
social scientists on complex, challenging problems and issues as they expand
our knowledge of the world ocean. They work in laboratories ashore, on ships
and submersibles at sea, and in coastal environments. Learn more..."
