Welcome to our home page. We are grade 9 students at Anthony Paddon Elementary. This site consists of links, and lots of info. When you consider that water covers three quarters of the earth, marine biology becomes very important.
Marine biology is the study of microorganisms and life forms underwater.
Marine biologists collects information, conducts experiments, makes observations and collects specimens to analyse in labs. They examine how light, temperature, and pollution effects both the animals and plant life. Marine Biologists are employed by such organizations as the Navy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also known as the NOAA, state fisheries, and private colleges. Some marine biologists work with endangered species such as whales, dolphins, and sea turtles studying their behaviour and habitats. Most marine biologists work in states that border the ocean.
