Biological Oceanographers are interested in developing a better understanding of how living things influence and are influenced by the structure and function of marine systems. At Stony Brook, Biological Oceanographers and Marine Biologists often collaborate closely with their colleagues trained in the other oceanographic disciplines and with atmospheric scientists as they study a variety of organisms including viruses, bacteria, phytoplankton and zooplankton, benthic animals, and fish.
