Marine Biology

Hi everyone!! My name is Leigha. When I am older I want to be a Marine Biologist. I made this blog to tell you about marine biology and to help support the national aquarium. I plan to get in contact with the national aquarium so I can see if they would like donations for there animals. Also I want to learn about the animals they have. I can’t wait to tell you the experience I have with the members off the national aquarium and to tell you how you can help. The first thing I would like you to do is come up with so questions I should ask. In the comments brainstorm some questions I should ask.
