What is marine biology?
Marine Biology: the science of biology applied to the sea
![Page 6: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is marine science?• Biological oceanography:
– Study of the biology, geography, and chemistry of the ocean

Timeline
Lets look at a student’s timeline from a couple
years ago.
![Page 8: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What do YOU know about the ocean?
• Think about it for a minute and write a few things down. Be prepared to share . . .
• What do you want to know?
![Page 9: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It began with a clam bake?
• People started learning about the sea since the first time they saw the ocean
• Stone age:– clambakes about 3 million years
ago
• Polynesians– Around 4000 B.C.– Navigation, fishing, trading– Hawaii, 500 AD– NZ, 1000 AD
![Page 10: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Where is Polynesia?

Phoenicians
• 2000 B.C. Phoenicians– Mediterranean coast
– Extensive trade and navy
![Page 12: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Aristotle: the first marine biologist
• Greek philosopher• 384-327 B.C• Described many forms
of sea life• Recognized gills as
breathing apparatus of fish
![Page 13: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Darwin and Forbes• HMS Beagle sailed
around the world in 1831– Map coastlines; atolls;
barnacles; other sea life
• Forbes (1815-1854)– focused on sea floor
– Azoic theory: life limited to depth--no life past 1800 ft.
– disproved
![Page 14: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Challenger Expedition• 1872-1876• First oceanographic expedition to circumnavigate the world• Thousands of specimens• 19 years to publish results, 50 volumes thick• Laid the foundation for modern marine science
![Page 15: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Permanent laboratories• Stazione Zoologica
– Naples, Italy, 1872 -- first marine lab in the world
• Marine Biological Laboratory– Woods Hole, Massachusetts, 1888 – first marine lab in the U.S.
• Scientists now able to work from shore
![Page 16: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SONAR• WW II (late 1930’s) --> submarine warfare --> SONAR
• SONAR:– SOund NAvigation Ranging
• Ship emits loud sounds (pinging) and times how long it takes to return. This determines depth.
![Page 17: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sidescan SONAR
• Sound energy continuously transmitted from towfish in the shape of a fan that sweeps sea floor
• Records picture of ocean bottom

SCUBA• SCUBA
– Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus
• Allow us to observe marine organisms in their environment
![Page 19: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Modern Marine Science• Alvin
– Brings us to the depths… (4000 m)
• Shinkai 6500 (Japanese)– Can work down to 6500 meters!!!
• Remote sensing– Using computers and satellites to
track SST, currents, organisms, etc.
• FLIP (FLoating Instrument Platform)
• Wave models for when I surf!
![Page 20: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Scientific Method: Quick Review• Scientific conclusions
MUST be based on observations
• What’s a hypothesis?– A statement that might be
true– It can be tested– No hypothesis can be
absolutely proved true
• What is a theory?– A hypothesis that has been
accepted as “true” for the time being b/c it has passed test after test with a large body of supporting evidence
– It can be overturned by new evidence . . .
![Page 21: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Observation is the key• As we observe more and
more about the ocean we seek to explain our observations
• The water is red. Why? What makes it red? How will it affect marine life? How will it affect humans?
• Without observation, science would cease to exist . . .
![Page 22: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Induction vs. Deduction• Induction:
– Separate observations (small/specific) arrive at general conclusions (big/general)
– Scientific method: observe--> hypothesis-->
experiment--> theory
• Deduction: – General principals (big/general) specific conclusions
(small/specific)
– Begin with theory --> experiments and observations to test theory
• Example with gravity

Human Population and the Ocean• Pass out human population statistics• What do you notice?• Make a graph• What do you notice about the curve? What’s this called?
How will this affect the ocean?
![Page 24: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Exponential Growth• Death rates continuing to decline. Why?
– Improvements in nutrition, sanitation, and health care
• During 1650 to 1800 pop doubled to 1bil.• By 1930, doubled again to 2 bil.• Doubling to 4 bil took less than 50 years!• What type of curve? Why?• Constant rate of growth.
![Page 25: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

$$
• Find a partner• Would you rather receive $1,000.00 per day
for a month OR start with $0.01 and double your money each day for a month (30 days)
• Find the total• $30,000.00• 5,905,609,000 cents or $59,056,090.00!!• This is exponential growth

Dead Zones due to humans?
• NPR interview on dead zones
![Page 28: The Science of Marine Biology](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813b7e550346895da49c27/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Are we still in the age of discovery and exploration?
• What is your opinion?• Assignment is two fold:
1. Do some research and write a one paragraph answer to this question. Provide at least two sources to support your opinion.
2. Second paragraph describes your own personal history with the ocean as well as the future. What does the ocean mean to you? How do you relate to it?
• Be prepared to share this with the class
