Monterey Bay Aquarium


Who wouldn’t be thrilled to see penguins, sharks, sea otters, giant octopuses, eels, seahorses, thousands of fish, and other aquatic life all in one place and just within arm's reach? I felt like a kid again, excited to see and even touch some of these amazing creatures when I had time and an oppurtunity to Visit Montery Bay Aquarium during my visit to Asilomar Boulevard for attending Claifornia Math Council.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium features one of the tallest exhibits in the world: the kelp forest. The aquarium has a clear mission: to inspire the conservation of our oceans. It promotes the concept of sustainable fishing and educates fishermen and consumers alike about the importance of fish conservation.
