Hi everyone, :clownfish:
Im planning to study marine biology at James Cook Uni next year but I was wondering if there are any other good marine biology universities people recommend (especially in the southern hemisphere)?
thanks

"Extending a sea ethic would mean recognizing the ocean’s importance to the continued existence of life on our planet and to human futures. From this recognition would flow an appropriate sense of moral imperative, commitment, and urgency—urgency toward ending overfishing and wasteful bycatch and aggressively rebuilding depleted ocean wildlife populations, stabilizing human effects on world climate, slowing habitat destruction, stemming global transport and accidental introduction of "alien" species, curbing the flow of contaminants and trash, developing sustainable seafood farming, cultivating an informed approach to the seafood marketplace, and implementing networks of protected areas in the sea." - Dr. Carl Safina

I hear University of New South Wales is pretty good, and University of Queensland is awesome, too.

NOSB: A great way for high schoolers to learn about the oceans.

A whale killed a dolphin but he was acquitted because he didn't do it on porpoise.
