  I would try and get involved with as many related activities as you can – volunteer at your local aquarium or sea life centre, help clean local beaches, get involved in conservation awareness campaigns.
  
  School-wise I’d recommend learning as much about the oceans as possible (through physics, chemistry and biology) but also think about how humans interact with marine biology. This could include learning about fisheries, the pet trade, tourism, coastal pollution and engineering – all of this effects things like sea mammals and turtles too.
