I completed all the requirements for the course and finished my practicum this past Tuesday. I am now a Certified Marine Naturalist. I'm not quite sure what I want to do with this, but I know my life is going in this direction. At this point, I'm volunteering at the Whale Museum and taking note of the questions people ask. I want to do a lot more research into different areas of marine life, and possibly next year get a part time job on a whale watch boat. I don't quite feel ready for that this year, and most of the boats do their hiring in the spring for the coming summer.
I've also always had a desire to write a book, so perhaps I will pursue that venture. Since I'm retired, I have the time. I would like to spend my time this summer going out and photographing as much as possible so that I could use my photos in my book.
I'd also like to go into schools to talk to the children about the marine mammals of Puget Sound, so that will be something else I'll be looking into for the coming year.
At any rate, I am very happy with my accomplishments :)
