Exploring the Ocean with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
This fascinating exhibit combines high-definition video of incredible deep-sea animals
with the hands-on experience of using underwater robots and other high-tech tools to
explore the ocean's depths.
The exhibit puts virtual deep sea exploration at your fingertips in three different
missions—photographing deep sea animals, mapping underwater mountains and monitoring
the surprisingly rich and varied sea life around a sunken whale carcass.
You'll learn about the cutting-edge research conducted each day at the Monterey Bay
Aquarium Research Institute—deep-sea science that's changing what we know about the
ocean, and what's needed to protect ocean life. It's like nothing you've seen
before—come join us.
What's the Aquarium's Connection to MBARI?
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI)
is a leading center for ocean exploration and research. Like the Aquarium, MBARI was
set up through the generosity of the Packard family. Both organizations share a passion
for conserving the oceans.
