Charles Darwin(1809-1882)
Charles Darwin is very well known as the man behind the theory of evolution. We typically connect him to apes when we think of his work, but he was in fact an early marine biologist. He studied coral reefs in great depth, and this helped to develop his initial theories behind natural selection and ultimately evolution. His studies were particularly focused on marine invertebrates including plankton and barnacles. His third geological book, completed in 1846 shows his continued interest in the area of marine biology.

My interest in Marine Biology: I am interested in Marine Biology because, I like all types of animals. I really like marine and aquatic creatures. I would like to work with theses types of creatures, do research to see how they thrive and grow, what their environment is like, and how they live, eat, and just overall survive in that environment .
