Life below water

AQUACULTURE TECHNICIAN
Overfishing and habitat destruction are becoming increasingly severe sustainability issues. An Aquaculture Technician can assist commercial organisations, governments, and academic institutions in implementing sustainable aquatic plant and fish husbandry methods, for example, to repopulate bodies of water.

FISH AND GAME WARDEN
As a Fish and Game Warden, you may patrol a variety of water bodies, e.g., lakes, rivers, and/or seas, to ensure that fishermen and hunters follow the laws and regulations that have been put in place to protect local aquatic ecosystems.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION INSTRUCTOR
Shaping children’s attitudes towards environmental issues can have very positive effects on their behaviours in later life. Outdoor Education Instructors can incorporate countless lessons into their activities and expeditions; they can teach their students about the detrimental environmental impact of marine pollution and encourage them to help solve the problem.

OCEANOGRAPHER
Enhanced scientific cooperation is needed to address growing issues like ocean acidification. Oceanographers can provide scientific research and data to help monitor levels of ocean acidification in different areas. This information is essential for identifying the effects of ocean acidification and for governments, companies, and other institutions to develop solutions.

MARINE BIOLOGIST
70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans, making marine biology a gigantic field of study. Whichever aspect you choose to focus on as a Marine Biologist, you can contribute to the sustainable management, protection, and restoration of marine ecosystems to avoid destructive effects.

DIVE GUIDES
Dive Guides should ensure that tourists follow the “take only photos – leave only bubbles” principle. Diving connects people with the precious beauty of our oceans, but, beyond this, Dive Guides can literally open peoples’ eyes to the destruction that humans have caused e.g., damaged coral and marine pollution.

MARINE ANIMAL RESCUER
As a Marine Animal Rescuer, not only do you rehabilitate marine animals that are sick, stranded, injured, or abandoned, you also often witness the impact that human shave on the oceans. You should therefore strive to share the animals’ stories to raise awareness about the well-being of the ocean and marine life.

COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN
Fishing practices, laws, and policies differ between locations, but Commercial Fishermen everywhere can live by general principles: harvest at a sustainable rate to avoid overfishing, lobby for suitable laws and policies, and spread awareness about the impact of destructive fishing practices at all levels.

UNDERWATER FILMMAKER AND PHOTOGRAPHER
Conservation-themed media campaigns can be extremely effective for raising awareness of the issues around marine ecosystems and for inspiring action. Underwater Filmmakers and Photographers can provide the films and images for these campaigns.

PLASTICS RECYCLING MANAGER
It’s estimated that the oceans will contain more plastic than fish by the year 2050, making it one of the most urgent environmental issues of our time. More and more non-profit organisations and companies are hiring Plastics Recycling Managers to manage a supply chain, sourcing plastics from the ocean and turning them into new products.
