Freshwater Careers

September 10—Choose three freshwater careers from today’s video or the careers document on schoolweb.  Explain what each person does and why their job is necessary for our environment.  Include a picture representing each career.

A wildlife biologists studies the living organisms in an ecosystem. It's important to study living organisms to understand how they function and how we can preserve them.  The importance of this career is that they track hunting patterns as well as animals that are endangered and put up protective barriers if possible to conserve them. This term is used interchangeably with a wildlife ecologist, as they do very similar jobs.

A wildlife ecologist studies animals, especially animal populations, and seeks to identify ways in which those populations can be helped. The main objective of an ecologist working in this setting is to promote healthy animal conservation. Which also means studying the types of habitats they live in. 

An entomologists studies insects. Entomologists may look at insect behavior, morphology, nutrition, and ecology. They can also study the ways in which insects interact with other animals and agricultural sites
The study of entomology can provide interesting clues into the history of life on Earth, and it can also be used to make projections about the future. Entomologists can participate in a wide range of projects, ranging from genetically engineering insects which attack crop pests to looking at the role that insects play in the life cycles of many plants.
