Fields of marine science that don't involve heavy chemistry work?

I'm a high schooler hoping to pursue a career in marine science, ideally with a focus on hydrology, air-sea interactions, coastal systems/processes, oceanic mixing, or marine ecology/fisheries science. After looking at some university websites and emailing a few professors, it seems that most of these fields require some chemistry, though I'm still a bit unsure.

As much as I love science, chemistry has always been my least favorite subject. It's not that I'm bad at it - I just hate it. Is it possible to pursue an education/career in any of the fields I listed above, or any other fields of marine science, that don't require a heavy workload in chemistry?

    In today's marine science, it is ALL about the chemistry. So buck up if you want to pursue this field!
