Marine biologists are scientists who study the biology of marine organisms, including their behavior, physiology, genetics, and ecology. They may also work on conservation efforts to protect marine ecosystems.
Fisheries officers are responsible for managing and enforcing fisheries regulations. They inspect fishing vessels and gear to ensure compliance with the law and conduct inspections of fish catches to ensure that they are of legal size and that the proper gear is being used. They may also work with fishermen to develop and implement sustainable fishing practices.
While both marine biologists and fisheries officers work with marine organisms, their roles are quite different. Marine biologists focus on the scientific study of marine organisms, while fisheries officers focus on the management and regulation of fisheries.
