I am also a dive instructor and am very comfortable being in the ocean. With my diving experience and a marine biology education, I will be able to assist in tagging and monitoring shark behavior. Tagging provides an educational benefit that helps generate public awareness, also by monitoring shark’s habits, it can help agencies to set protection boundaries. A marine biologist plays a key role in the protection of sharks. Marine biologist contributes to the preservation of sharks and the ocean all the time.
