Original post：

Marine biologists study life in the ocean, and sometimes they also study the ocean itself. They may investigate the behavior and physiological processes of marine species, or the diseases and environmental conditions that affect them. They can also assess the impact of human activities on marine life. Actually, I think research projects are the main focus of marine biologists. Becoming a respected marine biologist is a long and arduous journey. Thus, if you want to become a marine biologist, people need to choose subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry during the undergraduate course, and of course biology.
