NAICS Code 541715-05 Description (8-Digit)

Oceanographers are professionals who study the ocean and its interactions with the Earth's atmosphere, land, and ecosystems. They use a range of scientific methods to explore the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the ocean and its inhabitants. Oceanographers work to understand the complex processes that occur in the ocean, such as ocean currents, tides, waves, and the movement of marine life. They also study the impact of human activities on the ocean, such as pollution, climate change, and overfishing. Oceanographers may work in a variety of settings, including universities, government agencies, research institutions, and private companies.

History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 541715-05 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The field of oceanography has a long and rich history, dating back to ancient times when early civilizations began exploring the seas for trade and exploration. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that oceanography began to emerge as a distinct scientific discipline. In 1872, the HMS Challenger set sail on a three-year voyage to explore the world's oceans, collecting data on everything from water temperature to marine life. This expedition laid the foundation for modern oceanography and inspired a new generation of scientists to study the seas. In the United States, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was founded in 1930 and quickly became a leading center for oceanographic research. In recent years, oceanographers have made significant advancements in the study of climate change, ocean acidification, and marine biodiversity, among other areas.
