Stretching over 30° of latitude, New Zealand’s coastline is more than 15, 000 km long, and its exclusive economic zone is one of the largest in the world. And yet our understanding of our own big blue backyard is extremely limited. Whether it’s finding new species, protecting sensitive habitats, or solving our energy problems, there are countless opportunities for ocean explorers. Study Marine Science and you could be part of the discoveries to come. Marine scientists are valued, not only in learning institutions, but also by governments and large corporations. Many organisations need people with analytical minds on their team. Over 90% of Marine Science postgraduates from Otago University go on to find marine related jobs.
