After doing an undergraduate degree in marine biology, I'm now doing a marine biology PhD in the UK at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. I love what I do, but, contrary to popular belief, very few marine biologists actually swim with dolphins or spend their days scuba diving. In my spare time I edit a blog on marine science. Below is a link to a blog post I wrote on why I dread telling people I'm a marine biologist. I recommend that you check it out!

Hi there

I wanted to know, is it normal for Killer Whales to migration to South African Coast? For the pass. Few years I have heard about it and just wanted to know is it about the change in temperature that is causing the change in migration?

I have a club called the Ocean Club. I just started it, and it's dedicated to helping to save the ocean from pollution and trash. We don't live near the ocean. Can you give me any good ideas on how to inspire my group? I'm only nine!
