Marine biologists are trained experts in marine life and use a variety of tools to advance our knowledge of marine life and conservation. In the future, marine biologists will be required to use more complex tools and collaborate globally with other marine biologists to solve problems in our oceans. As the population grows, the sea life will get less and less. Marine biologists will have to help conserve this life. . NRC Report on Nature/Scope of CT. web site: www.cs.vt.edu/~kafura/CS6604.
