Our home in the universe is not called the ‘Blue Planet’ for nothing; water largely covers the surface of the Earth. Land – the bit we live on – only represents about 30%, and the oceans contain over 96% of all the water on Earth.

This fascinating Level 3 Marine Biology course from Cambridge Open College provides a real insight to our world, and in particular the water covering the larger part of it. The course results, on successful completion, in an Endorsed Qualification awarded under Focus Awards’ FQP (Focus on Quality Provision) Scheme.

The biggest living mammal known to man – the Blue Whale – and some of the smallest organisms (plankton) live in the oceans. 

Despite our technological advances, we still know almost nothing about the deepest parts of our watery planet. Primarily because it’s an alien environment that man cannot easily explore.

We can dive wearing body mounted equipment with relative ease and safety down to about 50 metres; a bit more if we replace air with more exotic gas mixtures. Using specially designed underwater vehicles we can send equipment and cameras down a lot further.

But it’s so cold and dark, and the pressure so incredibly high (it would squash a nuclear submarine flat), that man will not get to the bottom in the foreseeable future.

They called the deepest part of the ocean the Challenger Deep, in the Pacific Ocean at the end of the Marianas Trench. At over 36,200 feet (11,128 metres) to the bottom it could swallow our highest mountain (Everest) with more than a mile to the surface (7,171 feet / 2,206 metres) left above it.

Marine biology is the study of all the flora and fauna that lives in this incredibly diverse but hostile environment. You learn about the various “zones” and how they affect all aspects of our lives. The weather, which is the biggest influence on where we live and how we survive, is almost entirely dependent on what happens in the world’s oceans.

If you really want to understand the biggest and least controllable influence on humanity, this superb course is a great place to start.
