Option 3: "He designed a unique fountain system to keep certain marine species alive for study and entertainment."

Explanation: This option is correct because the text explicitly states that the individual worked on a 'bizarre little fountain system' that solved the problem of keeping coral species and jellyfish alive for study and entertainment. This directly aligns with the question about significant contributions to marine life.

Option 1: "He developed a transportation system for marine animals."

Option 2: "He created an underwater observatory."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not refer to an underwater observatory. The main focus is on the fountain system designed to keep marine species alive, which is different from an observatory.

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not mention any musical compositions related to marine life. The focus is on the individual's contributions to the study and popularization of marine life through a fountain system, not music.
