Giant kelp provides food and shelter for a vibrant ecosystem.

Look closely and you’ll discover an astonishing diversity of fish and invertebrates swimming here and clinging to the kelp and algae.

Listen to live audio of our Kelp Forest feeding program and watch divers hand-feed sharks, fishes and other animals. If you're lucky, a wolf eel will emerge to gulp some squid or fish.

Sea Otter Pup on Exhibit

Sea Otter Pup on Exhibit

An eight-week old rescued pup has joined the sea otter exhibit. He came into our care at two weeks of age weighing barely six pounds, and is now a hefty 15 pounds—the result of a very healthy appetite! He's currently under the tutelage of Joy, who will teach him what a young otter needs to know. Be sure to come see him when you visit or watch him on our live Otter Cam. We'll also post updates and images on our Facebook page. As in the past, we may move him behind the scenes with little notice if that's in his best interests, so be sure to check if you’re planning a special trip.
