The Monterey Bay Aquarium is a nonprofit museum and conservation organization based in Monterey, California, dedicated to the health of the ocean. It blends living exhibits with education programs to reach millions of visitors and educate tens of thousands of students each year, supported by the Bechtel Family Center for Ocean Education and Leadership. Its science-based work underpins policy efforts and includes the Seafood Watch program, which provides tools to guide fishing and farming practices worldwide. Its exhibits showcase marine life along California’s central coast, with themes ranging from sea otters and kelp forests to deep-sea species, and it has introduced exhibitions such as Into the Deep / En lo Profundo. In 2026, the aquarium appointed Dr. Jenny Gray as chief executive officer, succeeding the organization’s first CEO.
