I can remember when I was younger, my family and I would go to the beach every summer. As my younger brothers would play in the sand, I would sit at the edge of the shore and just stare out into the ocean. I would always wonder what was past the waves, and what was hidden below. My fondest memories all involve the ocean and ocean life in some way: from sitting on the water’s edge as a child wondering if I will ever be able to explore its hidden beauty, to being an adult sitting with my father on his boat getting challenged to catch the biggest fish. Learning about the ocean has always been my favorite hobby, so when I got laid off from my job last year, I decided to go back to school and pursue a career in marine biology. My goal is to turn the hobby that I love into a career that I love as well.
In this blog I will discuss topics concerning the oceans that range from the oceans “dead zones” to the hidden evolution that is taking place underneath the deep blue sea. I hope to spark an interest in a subject that has had me fascinated since childhood, and to hopefully bring awareness to the remarkable things that take place in our oceans.
