      I haven’t done any work in that field, but I did keep a tropical fish tank for many years when I was younger – My advice would be keep up to date with developments within the field of marine biology and make sure to show that enthusiasm when applying for any of work experience/apprenticeships/university courses!

      I haven’t done any work with marine biology. The best I can do is that I work in sustainable energy research, and one of the criteria for energy to be sustainable would be that is doesn’t cause loss of marine life (often due to pollution and/or climate change!)

      I can also heartily recommend you visit The Deep in my hometown of Hull if you ever get the chance: https://www.thedeep.co.uk/ It’s a really great conservation-oriented aquarium and museum!

      Best of luck in your studies. You’ve got this!

      I havent done any research into marine biology myself, but the best website I can recommend you take a look at is called prospects. I’ve linked it here for you : https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/marine-biologist
