As a marine biologist, Dr. Christian Heesch is always delighted to speak to people who are interested in following the same career path and he can talk for hours about the benefits of the job. There are many reasons why a person might choose to pursue marine biology as a career, with the below being some of the most important.

You Learn About The Environment

People have an enormous impact on the Earth’s natural environment every single day. Some of the effects of this impact are obvious, such as pollution in the skies. However, the issues that we cause in the world’s oceans are perhaps more difficult to determine. By becoming a marine biologist, you will develop a greater understanding of the negative effects of overfishing and other issues and thus place yourself in a better position to hopefully do something about them and help out marine life in the process.

The Possibility of Adventure

With so much of the world’s oceans still uncharted or unexplored, marine biology offers a level of adventure that isn’t available in many other careers. The possibility for making new discoveries is vast and you never quite know where your career and research may end up taking you. As a marine biologist, it is more than likely that you will have the chance to explore the world and experience natural phenomena the likes of which few others have seen.

The Research

The sheer depth and variety of marine life means that there is always something new to study in the field of marine biology. The discipline contains a number of sub-fields that focus on particular issues, so the research that you would undertake will always be interesting. This serves to offer extra motivation to scientists, as they will often be working on genuinely new hypotheses when conducting their studies, discovering new and interesting things in the process.

A Stable Career

Dr. Christian Heesch understands that as long as he maintains and updates his knowledge base, he will likely be working as a marine biologist for his entire career. As people begin to become more concerned about the effects that the actions of humans are having on the environment, there is more demand for people with the skills and intelligence to work on ways to counter these issues. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the field of biological sciences in general will grow by 21% by the end of 2018, making marine biology an excellent choice for those looking for excitement and career stability.
