A variety of people make their living studying the oceans and Great Lakes or educating others about these valuable natural resources. Yet for many students in the U.S., these careers may seem relatively remote or unattainable, until they learn about the actual people who do them. This activity will help students become familiar with exciting careers in science.
Objectives:
- Name at least five careers in marine and aquatic science, including both the oceans and Great Lakes.
- Identify several recent contributions that people have made in marine and aquatic science fields.
- Describe a marine or Great Lakes science career that interests them.
