Anonymous asked: The University of Florida does not actually offer marine biology as a major, however, the University of Miami has an amazing program! If you want to go into marine biology in the states the UM program is ranked number 1.

theirrationalman: Please show your support - In 24 hours, the Australian government could approve the world’s biggest marine reserve to help preserve spectacular coral reefs and endangered species. But the commercial fishing industry is lobbying to oppose it. We need a flood of support to the public consultation to win. Send a message now!
