Coral Reef Ecologist
Biologists and zoologists who research the roles that various organisms play in marine ecosystems often find themselves specializing in the study of particular types of environments, such as coral reefs. In their role as coral reef ecologists, these scientists study an array of topics within coral reef ecosystems, including the behavior of fish species, the impact of climate change, water pollution, and other factors that affect coral reef health. They may also be involved in restoration projects designed to protect and restore these vital ecosystems.
