A Window into the Deep Sea: MBARI Open House
For 25 years, our colleagues at the independent Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) have been discovering amazing animals and solving mysteries of the deep ocean the largest habitat for life on Earth.
You can share in their discoveries and make some of your own during MBARIs annual open house on Saturday, July 21 from noon to 5 p.m. in Moss Landing, just north of the Aquarium.
Among the highlights: high-definition video of cool animals like vampire squid, spookfish and siphonophores, and scientific talks about expeditions to the Gulf of California and Sargasso Sea.
Youll meet scientists and engineers whose work is changing what we know about the deep, explore their labs, see the ships and undersea robots used in deep-sea expeditions, and shops where much of the equipment is built.
At 12:45 p.m. our executive director, Julie Packard, will christen MBARIs newest ship, the R/V Rachel Carson.
Theyll have plenty of hands-on activities for kids, including workshops where theyll get to build their own remotely operated vehicles!
