Question

Is Marine Biology a Chemistry Career? How is Chemistry used in this profession?

Answer 1

Any kind of biology is going to require some chemistry, because living things are made from chemicals and interact with chemicals.  Marine biology may use more chemistry than other kinds of "animal biology" (versus molecular biology, which uses a LOT of chemistry), because water chemistry is more complex than air chemistry.

That said, I would not really call marine biology a "chemistry career"... it's a biology career.
