Why study Oceanography?

The reason why I decided to take Oceanography as an elective is because of my fascination of the ocean. I have spent every summer of my life living on the ocean. Ever since I was little I loved watching the waves and examining the sea creatures. When I saw that my school was offering Oceanography and Marine Biology as a class, I couldn't let the opportunity pass. Studying science is important because we were blessed with this exciting world, so why not take the opportunity to learn about the world we live on. I hope to learn how the ocean impacts the world we live on and the secrets it may have in store for us.
