This link may help.

It would be great if you could get an actual marine biologist who is willing to do an online interview, but you take several risks with that. First, you have no idea if the person actually IS a marine biologist. Second, you have no good way to document it (if this is for a paper/homework). Third, you might get inaccurate info.

Here's a link to some sites that might help you out. I suggest that you go there to ask this question, as the data you gather would probably be far more accurate.

Good luck on your project,

Interview of a marine biologist, namely Prof. Jeffrey Levinton, of Stony Brook University, Stony Brook NY USA. I get many requests to do interviews each day and this is my response, as I cannot answer so many different requests individually. If you have 3 questions or fewer that differ from the ones below
http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/marinebio/mycareer.html
1. What, in your opinion, are the disadvantages of being a Marine Biologist?
Don't see any real disadvantages at all. Can't complain about freedom (a fair amount), opportunities (lots in everything from government to teaching to popular book writing)
2. What, in your opinion, are the advantages of being a Marine Biologist?
Advantages include doing what you love to do; travel, often to fascinating and lovely places; interactions with interesting folks.
4. I heard that it is hard to get a job as a Marine Biologist because of the few job openings. Was it hard for you?
I was lucky as jobs were relatively accessible in the early 1970s but one should not enter a field without a realistic understanding of the job market. Govt. jobs and academic jobs are very competitive but still available. I have had 16 students get Ph.D.s and all are employed or on the way. I am optimistic.
7. What do marine biologists make as a salary?
Open the link it is quite varied as far as salary.
9. What do I need to do to become a marine biologist?
10. What do you do as a marine biologist?

IF YOU OPEN THE LINK YOU WILL HAVE THE ANSWERS YOU WANT.
I am not the marine biologist but the answers are from one.
