My Interest.

Marine Science is the study of ocean, its habitats, ecosystems and its life forms.
There are five types of oceans in the world, such as Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian
Ocean, Arctic Ocean and Southern Ocean. There’s something about ocean that fascinates
me and draws my attention. It’s the most omnipresent substance on Earth and, along with
air, the primary ingredient for supporting life as we know it. 

It’s all started when I visited Langkawi Island two years ago. I went on a vacation with
my coursemates and it was indeed a memorable trip. Wearing a life jacket, effortlessly
floating and swimming in the lake were my experience in Langkawi. I totally miss the
moment even today. I had my first snorkelling experience in Tioman last month. Standing at
the shore’s edge in Tioman Island, I was once again overtaken by the sensations of peace
and serenity. At that time, I was breathing heavily, the water was dripping from my hair and
my skin was soaked in salt. I felt at one with the world and at peace with myself and all that
was happening in my life—chaos included. I, like many ocean lovers, felt refreshed,
renewed, and awakened by the presence of ocean. While many of us can go on and on
about why we love the ocean, there’s a perfectly good scientific explanation as to why it is
that way.

Discovering the mystery of the ocean always excites me and that’s why I love
spending my holiday on the island. If you are not good at swimming, snorkelling is the best
activity you can choose. Snorkelling can let you experience the intense natural beauty of
the underwater world without heavy equipment. Coral reef is the main reason why I
love ocean. Coral reefs are one of the world's most colourful and diverse ecosystems. They
have a huge effect on the human life on earth as well as the habitat in general. Healthy coral
reefs mean healthy oceans which means a healthy planet. The most interesting about coral
reefs is the fact that they are not plants. They're actually animals and amazingly enough, are
relatives of jellyfish and anemones.

During my free time, I love researching about the mystery of the ocean. For example,
the life of deep sea animals. Speaking of dark waters, the average depth of the ocean is
around 14,000 feet. The bottom of the ocean is extremely cold because the sunlight cannot
be reach up to the bottom of the sea. However, the sea creatures that live at the bottom of
the sea produce some kind of light. Anyway, it’s not a good idea for anyone who has
Thalassophobia to dive into the deep. Thalassophobia is the intense and persistent fear of
the sea or of sea travel. But for me, if I have get the chance to dive into deep water, I would
totally go for it.  
 In a nutshell, I am quite drawn into marine science. The ocean has always been my
remedy for relieving tension, stress, and anxiety. It is still full of mysteries and I hope one
day the scientists will discover more about the beauty of the ocean.
