Bryce’s Answer

Hi Sheila,

There are many job opportunities in both marine biology and oceanography, but they are very different. Oceanography focuses on the non-living aspects of the ocean. Jobs include mapping the ocean floor, tracking currents and weather patterns, tracking the affects of global warming, and many more. Marine biology focuses on the living aspects of the ocean. Jobs in this field include organismal research opportunities, species conservation, animal training, zoology, species identification, and many more. It all comes down to whether you would like to throughly work with the living organisms or not.

Marina Midori’s Answer

Oceanography is very different from marine biology, because one works only with animals and their environment. Since oceanography works directly with the fluid such as rivers, oceans, water tables, lakes, lagoons and ponds, it studies climate, sediment, animals and tries to avoid catastrophes, making and contributing to the prediction of tsunamis, floods , tsunamis and climate change. But there are also those who work with oil exploration conducting research to search for oil in the ocean and in the rivers.
