Any Marine Biologists out there?

Question

I have a question for you. What exactly do you do? I love sea life, but I feel that marine biology is all about spreadsheets, statistics, etc., not actually about observing the beauty that just is there. What do you have to say about it?

Answer 1

Hummmm....There doesn't seem to be many Marine Biologists visiting Answers....afraid of getting their p/c's wet maybe!
