My Blog!

Hello, everyone, my name is Joelle from Northern California and this is my official start-up of my new blog all about marine biology.  Here I'll talk about what's going on around the world that has to do with marine biology. If you saw my last post you know what I mean. I read up on all the related news and talk about my opinion and view on it. I also try to interest others and get important topics out there. There are so many other blogs about this topic too that I follow as well. The picture above depicts why I'm really doing this, but it goes deeper than what you see, like with all things in life. I want to be a marine biologist because it's a field I love to study. 

                            

I haven't always known I wanted to do or be this, but over time I saw jow much I truly love the field of marine biology. At first I was just fascinated with the diversity of marine life. Scientists still believe we have ten of thousands of more sea-life species yet to be discovered. I was just a little kid who'd go swimming in lakes and at the beach. I was swimming once in Lake Tahoe and I saw this fish; the first live one in water ever, and it just sat there while I looked at it until I eventually had to come up for air.When I came back down it was gone, but I gazed over the vast expansion of water and wondered what else what out there waiting for me to explore it. I made a promise to myself that I was going to find out.

                                 

I began to look into it, and I liked it more and more everyday. From then I started volunteering at marine centers and researching on everyday marine biology news. Every time I find out new info about anything related to marine biology, it makes me want to go out and see it myself. Hopefully, I get to see and work with marine life like this snail and other fascinating creatures one day. I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I do and I will try to post as often as I can!
