Aquaculture worker

Like a farmer, an aquaculture worker is part of the agriculture field, but instead of raising livestock and tending to crops on land, they raise fish and shellfish and maintain their watery habitats.

Aquarist

An aquarist is an animal care worker that works specifically with fish and other species that live in aquariums—think of aquarists like underwater zookeepers. They’re responsible for aquarium maintenance, as well as feeding and monitoring the animals to ensure they are healthy.

Commercial diver

Ready to take the plunge? Commercial divers use scuba gear to do underwater work such as repairing, removing or installing equipment and structures, conducting tests and experiments, rigging explosives and photographing marine life.

Fisherman

People envision fishing as a relaxing activity, but it’s a different story altogether when it’s what you do for a living. This is a labor-intensive job; fishermen work with a crew to locate fish, set up fishing nets and traps and sort, pack and store their catches. When not catching fish, they’re cleaning and maintaining the ship.

Hydrologist

As the name implies, hydrologists study everything about water, including its properties, distribution and movement through the atmosphere. Basically, hydrologists are charged with making sure there’s enough water to support all life on earth for the long term. They look for ways to minimize erosion and environmental pollution, and use technology to forecast future water supplies, floods, the spread of pollution and other events.

Lifeguard

Water lovers, this job ensures there’s always a chair waiting for you—and it’s far from the corner office. Lifeguards monitor pools, beaches and any other recreation areas with a body of water nearby to ensure safety rules are followed and to provide assistance when a rescue is necessary.

Marine biologist

Perhaps the most well-known of ocean jobs, marine biologists study saltwater organisms and how they interact with their ecosystem—and considering an estimated 50% to 80% of all life on earth is found under the sea, marine biologists have their work cut out for them. They conduct studies either in controlled settings or natural habitats to analyze the characteristics, reproduction and movement patterns of marine life.

Naval architect

Much like a traditional architect designs homes and other buildings, a naval architect designs and builds ships of all sizes. Once ships are constructed, naval architects often evaluate the ship’s performance both at sea and in the dock, making changes as they see fit to ensure safety and to see that national and international standards are met.

Oceanographer

If the deep sea is a passion of yours, consider making waves in this field. An oceanographer is a specialized type of geoscientist; geoscientists study the physical aspects of earth, while oceanographers specifically study the ocean. They analyze the movements and physical and chemical properties of ocean waters, and how those properties affect coastal areas, climate and weather.

Ship captain

All aboard! Captains transport passengers or cargo across domestic and foreign waters and are responsible for the safety of everyone and everything onboard, supervision of the crew as well as overseeing ship maintenance.
