Monterey Bay Aquarium

Description

• The mission of the nonprofit Monterey Bay Aquarium is to inspire conservation of the ocean.We're working in many ways to assure the future health of the ocean. Our living exhibits and programs for visitors are among the best in the world. We offer free education programs serving more than 100,000 schoolchildren and teachers each year -- and we're building a new Center for Ocean Education and Leadership.Our commitment to rigorous scientific research underpins all of our work to advance policies that promote ocean health in the United States and internationally. Our respected Seafood Watch program is a global leader, giving business and consumers the tools to transform how fish are caught and farmed around the world. Our award-winning permanent exhibits were the first to feature the marine life of a single region: the rich diversity along Californias central coast -- from sea otters and kelp forests to jellyfish and white sharks. Our special exhibitions focus on marine life from around the world. We attract nearly 2 million visitors a year.Our education programs are shaping a new generation of science-literate ocean conservation leaders, and giving teachers better tools for ecosystem-based learning.We promote action for healthy oceans through scientific research and policy efforts on behalf of key species like sea otters, sharks and Pacific bluefin tuna. We advocate for creation of marine protected areas, elimination of ocean plastic pollution and an end to the shark fin trade, and we support of policies to address climate change -- the greatest threat facing ocean -- and to better manage marine resources for future generations.
