Spending holidays
on the beach made me observe the sea for hours. Although the ocean covers most
of our planet, it brings us so many mysteries, doubts and curiosities. Some
people may think it is a "joke", but when I was a child, I loved to
watch the movie "The Little Mermaid" and "Finding Nemo",
where both showed great ocean floor richness. These details aroused interests
on me in choosing the Bachelor course in Oceanography at the Federal University
of Santa Catarina in order to learn more about the vast ocean that surrounds
us. The course covers several fields - physics, chemistry, biological,
geological and management. I'm still an undergraduate student, attending the
7th semester. This is my first experience as a volunteer intern, working on a
project that aims to identify bacteria that produces hydrogen, present in dead
zones, from phylogenetic determination, and this gives us ways to quantify the energy
production by bacteria.
