What are the safety issues you would have to deal with in the feild of marine biology?
This is an interesting question. There are many aspects of marine biology, where safety is an issue. Biologists do alot of field work. Working out in the field can always be hazardous and calls for preparedness, common sense and safety awareness. We are often in boats, which means that we all must be trained in safe boat driving and dealing with emergencies (protocol for calling the coast guard etc.). Boating accidents most often involved motor problems or stormy weather. Therefore, we must be good at small engine repair, navigation and wilderness survival. When out in the field, biologists must be constantly prepared for encounters with wild animals. Running into bears, cougars, sharks etc. can be dangerous if you do not know how to react. Biologists also analyze materials in the lab and face all the same hazards that chemists would face. We often deal with noxious chemicals and must observe lab safety guidelines. Eye protection, lab coats, and even breathing masks are often used. Wit
