How fulfilling does it feel working in Marine Biology?

Hi Kristen,
I noticed that you still haven't gotten an answer here and while I'm not a marine biologist, I did so some research for you. According to Career Explorer (https://www.careerexplorer.com/careers/marine-biologist/satisfaction/), marine biologist rate their career happiness as a 4.1 out 5 which is pretty high! I'd suggest diving into the link to see the specifics such as how meaningful they find their work (surprisingly only a 3.9), how happy they are with their salary, and other factors the contributed to it.
I'd also recommend checking out Telly's Marine Tales (https://www.youtube.com/@TellysMarineTales/videos) on YouTube. She is a real marine biologist and shares a lot lived experience about the field. She also has a video specifically about the Florida coral reefs you might like!
