A marine biologist is someone who studies plants, animals, and other organisms in the ocean. Marine life represents a vast resource, providing food, medicines, and raw materials, in addition to helping to support recreation and tourism all over the world. The habitats studied by marine biology include everything from the tiny layers of surface water in which organisms and abiotic items may be trapped in surface tension between the ocean and atmosphere, to the depths of the abyssal trenches , sometimes 10,000 meters or more beneath the surface of the ocean. It studies habitats such as coral reefs , kelp forests , tidepools , muddy, sandy, and rocky bottoms, and the open ocean (pelagic) zone, where solid objects are rare and the surface of the water is the only visible boundary. There are endless adventures to be found in being a marine biologist because only about 1% of the world's ocean has been explored. Like many jobs, being a marine biologist can mean being put in great danger. Not only are there animals that could harm humans in the ocean but the ocean itself could mean death if the right precautions are not take. After going so far down the pressure begins to grow. Only certain types of machines can enable a human to go to these depths.
