Kamilah, what are some of the biggest challenges you face as a marine biologist?
User
There are many challenges that we face in the field of marine biology. One of the biggest is the ongoing threat of climate change, which affects the health and survival of coral reefs and the creatures that call them home. Additionally, overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction all contribute to the decline of marine ecosystems.

There are a lot of things that individuals can do to help support conservation efforts. Reducing your carbon footprint, supporting sustainable fisheries, and using fewer single-use plastics are all great places to start. Additionally, supporting marine conservation organizations and spreading awareness about the importance of these ecosystems can make a real difference.
