So pinni-precious. 🥺🦭
Pupping season is winding down as summer begins, but the harbor seal spectacular is just getting started!
So mellow out, settle in, and enjoy your day on the bay with the chill vibes of a sleepy harbor seal. 🏖️☀️
Monterey Bay Aquarium volunteers sign up to feed our Kelp Forest fronds twice a day.
As soon as we get in the water, the fish know it’s time for lunch! We feed them a wide variety of restaurant-quality sustainable seafood like sardines, anchovies, and squid. 😋

During the feeding, guests watch fish dance around the divers, curious and eager for their meal. Our divers love watching the kids on the other side of the glass, captivated by our Kelp Forest exhibit residents.

There’s wonder in ocean life and caring for it helps us all.

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the beauty of diversity above and below the surface.
Environmental advocacy and the LGBTQ+ rights movement share a common purpose: protecting vulnerable communities, caring for the spaces we all call home, and creating a world where we all can flourish.

🌺 As AANHPI Heritage Month comes to a close, we’re reflecting with gratitude on the stories and voices that continue to shape our connection to the ocean.
We look forward to learning from and celebrating these communities throughout the year.
Thanks for being part of it with us.💙
Fish as fluid as the ocean. 🌊
All California sheephead start life as female and move through an array of colors and body shapes as they mature. Some female adults may transition to male as social and environmental factors shift, balancing the delicate ratio of individuals in their population.
While male sheephead are the easiest to spot, a closer look at our Kelp Forest exhibit reveals a variety of female sheephead swimming through these fascinating life stages.
