Many majors in the sciences are similar..in the university I went to, biology and zoology majors only differed by a few classes. So, depending on what you want to do..you can actually be a little flexible with your major. With an enviro bio degree you might be able to get a job working as a biologist for an environmental consultant firm or with a govenment agency like US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, etc. You can also try being employed by a non-profit organization or a university.

It is different and it is the same. All three are BS degrees in biology, environmental emphasis is on how the environment affects life forms, Zoology is animal life, and marine is sea life. In all three you will study the other 2. You would be able to easily change majors between the 3 up until your 3rd year.

Don't worry about it. By picking the right electives, you can take pretty much the same courses in all three majors. By the time you go on to graduate work, you can specialize in the one that piques your interest the most. Jobs are somewhat interchangeable too. My degrees are in zoology but most of my work is in environmental biology. The overlap is huge.
