If you're thinking about Marine Biology, your next step should be to get a good feel for what it's like to work in the field, and to start preparing yourself on the career path. One option is to look at aquariums and universities around your area and see if they have programs you can get involved with that will give you access to meet real marine biologists and ask them questions about how they got to where they are. For example, the New England Aquarium has an event series that you could participate in designed just for helping students meet marine biologists: http://www.neaq.org/education_and_activities/teacher_resources/school_programs/career_pathways.php
