Director’s Note
J U L I E PA C K A R D
Executive Director
The most visible and most inspiring part of our work is what happens on
the floor of the Aquarium. Each day we touch thousands of lives, often in
far-reaching ways. Recently, I received a letter from a longtime member
and donor who described the impact a single visit had on her 9-year-old
granddaughter. This young girl is fired up about the ocean, and charting
her future career as a marine biologist!
What nature delivers
to us is never stale.
Because what nature
creates has eternity in it.
– Isaac Bashevis Singer
Bringing visitors face-to-face with the
wonders of the ocean is key to advancing our conservation mission. That’s
why, with your help, we’ll open ¡Viva
Baja! Life on the Edge this spring. It will
feature the diverse and colorful animal
life in the Gulf of California and Baja
Peninsula. It will also highlight threats
these animals face, the people who are
fighting to save them and ways each of
us can contribute to solutions. You can
learn more on page 6.
Of course, our work doesn’t end with
the inspiring experiences visitors have in
our exhibit galleries. Today, as never before, we’re addressing significant threats
to the health of the ocean. That’s why
we’ve stepped up our research and policy programs so significantly and why
we’ve made conservation and science
the centerpiece of our annual fundraising campaign. We’re making a difference, and with your help we can do so
much more.
Climate change is affecting ocean
chemistry and temperature, undermining the living web that sustains all life on
Earth. You’ll hear more from us about
ways we can create a low-carbon
future—a better world for ourselves and
for ocean life.
Our Seafood Watch team continues to
expand its global impact as it engages
businesses whose purchasing power is
shifting seafood production in more sustainable directions.
This month we convened the firstever international Bluefin Tuna Symposium. We brought together scientists,
fisheries managers and other experts
to chart a course to recovery of these
remarkable and threatened fish.
This year, we’ll also be active on several fronts to eliminate single-use plastic
products that are such a damaging
source of pollution worldwide. In California, we’re backing a referendum to outlaw single-use plastic shopping bags in
retail stores. And we’re spearheading
a collaboration among leading U.S.
aquariums to speak with a united
voice on critical ocean health issues.
There’s much more on the horizon.
Our white shark research team is developing innovative camera tags to help us
learn what the sharks are doing when
they congregate offshore in the “White
Shark Café.” And they’ll begin using
DNA analyses to document threatened
shark species that are being killed
and sold in the shark fin trade.
Our sea otter scientists are helping
researchers who are sequencing the sea
otter genome. This holds real promise
for identifying potential genetic threats
to the otters’ recovery.
I’m also pleased to share that our
education initiatives were recently
recognized with a Community Impact
Award from the Silicon Valley Business
Journal. Our work to inspire future
ocean leaders is so important and so
needed, and we’re very excited about
what our new Ocean Education and
Leadership Center will mean for the
future of these programs. You can
learn more about our progress on
page 8.
Your generous support makes all
of these successes possible. Thank you
for your ongoing commitment to the
Aquarium—and to the future of
the ocean.

A Model
for Saving
the Ocean
Conservation & Science
T
he health of the global ocean
holds the key to our survival.
Today, we’re at a critical moment
when decisions to address the
threats of climate change and
illegal fishing will shape the future of
the ocean. We must act boldly so the
ocean can continue to play the critical
roles that enable life on Earth to exist.
That’s what fuels the growing
scope of our conservation and science
programs. We know that when people
do the right thing, the ocean is resilient
and can recover from the insults we
hurl its way.

Last fall, we celebrated an amazing California success story, in an extraordinary
way, with television broadcasts of Big Blue
Live across the United States and Great
Britain. The programs put the spotlight on
the incredible rebound of ecosystems and
ocean animals that were, within our lifetime, on the brink of extinction.
People took action—and we
made a difference.
Treaties in the early 20th century ended
commercial hunting for sea otters and
elephant seals. Commercial whaling
ended in the 1970s. The massive Santa
Barbara offshore oil disaster in 1969
catalyzed the biggest environmental
movement our country has ever seen.
Lawmakers enacted scores of landmark
environmental laws: the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air Act, the
Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species
Act, the Coastal Zone Management Act
and the National Marine Sanctuaries Act.
They also created the Environmental
Protection Agency and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—
the first body to recognize the interconnected nature of ocean and atmosphere.
California approved the Coastal Act
and later the Marine Life Protection
Act and Marine Life Management Act,
managing coastal waters for the health
of entire ecosystems.
We still have work to do.
In the 1990s, a bipartisan effort established
Monterey Bay as the largest national marine
sanctuary off the continental United States.
In the past decade, California created the
largest network of marine protected areas
in the country, and federal fisheries rules
put a priority on safeguarding the health
of ecosystems that fish need to thrive.
The recovery of whales, dolphins,
sharks and sea otters in Monterey Bay
is cause for celebration. Big Blue Live
shows us how much we stand to gain
when we’re good stewards of the ocean.
Many other ocean challenges need the
same attention. We must end overfishing on
the high seas, in waters beyond all national
borders. The climate crisis threatens the
health of the global ocean in ways we cannot
fathom—with consequences we must avert.
Success will take concerted action, with
involvement of citizens and government
leaders, philanthropists and the business
community. We’ve seen how collaborative
leadership like this has made an enduring
difference in the United States. We’re confident that, by engaging together, we can
secure the health of the global ocean.

Resources Secretary John Laird, former
NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco,

¡Vıva Baja! Life on the Edge–Animal Stars from Sand and Sea
Rockmover wrasse
Mountain kingsnake
You’re in for a treat when ¡Viva Baja! Life
on the Edge opens March 19. You’ll see
an amazing array of tropical fishes and
invertebrates, and meet several iconic
desert animals–a first for the Aquarium.
V
isitors to ¡Viva Baja!
will encounter animals that live in Baja’s
arid deserts, lush
mangrove forests and
colorful coral reefs.
Here are a few highlights of the
colorful and charismatic creatures you’ll meet inside the different galleries of our newest
special exhibition.
Near the Edge
Baja’s coastal deserts support
plants and animals that
have adapted to thrive in
its sun-scorched sands
and sapphire seas.

montereybayaquarium.org
Rockmover wrasse
Novaculichthys taeniourus
Also known as the dragon
wrasse, this striking fish feeds
by flipping rocks and gobbling
up the small critters hiding underneath. Adults often work in
pairs to find their meals.
Desert tortoise
Gopherus agassizii
This large, slow-moving terrestrial tortoise is easily recognizable by the distinctive scutes
(thickened plates) on its domed
shell, large elephantine rear feet
Desert tortoise
Panamic green moray
Pacific seahorse
and stocky, scaly forelimbs with
very long nails. It uses its claws
to dig deep underground
burrows and escape the
desert heat.
clams. Gliding over the soft sandy
seafloor, it uses its mouth and
disc to dig large pits and uncover
buried prey. It leaves a bonus in
its wake. Small fishes swoop into
these pits to feed on prey they
couldn’t normally catch on
their own.
protractile (extendable) jaws to
suck out prey from sand or
reef. Juveniles usually form
large schools and follow—or
“pilot”—bigger fish or even
jellies. Their agility protects
them from their hosts, whose
bulk may offer protection from
predation by other fish.
Mountain kingsnake
Lampropeltis zonata agalma
This beautiful and harmless
snake’s red, black and cream
coloring mimics that of the
venomous coral snake. Its
behavior turns nocturnal
during summer heat.
At the Edge
Where Baja California’s
deserts meet the Gulf of California, lush mangrove forests
teem with life. The ebb and
flow of tides around the trees’
tangle of roots reveals a
unique community.
Round ray
Urolophus halleri
This ray burrows in substrate
for worms, crabs, snails and
Panamic green moray
Gymnothorax castaneus
This is the classic moray eel
of most people’s imaginations:
long, lean and green. It prefers
life in a burrow inside rocky
crevices. It usually hunts at
night, relying on its sense of
smell to find its prey.
Golden trevally
Gnathanodon speciosus
Shiny and bright, and with a
distinctive following behavior,
it’s easy to identify the golden
trevally among other colorful
tropical fishes. Bright yellow as
juveniles and gold and silver as
adults, this species uses its
Pacific seahorse
Hippocampus ingens
One of the largest known
species of seahorse, Pacific
seahorses can grow to 12 inches
tall. It’s the only seahorse found
off the California coast, with a
range from San Diego Bay to
Peru. It’s a vulnerable species,
according to the IUCN.
Over the Edge
Ocean life is active and abundant where the Pacific Ocean
meets the Gulf of California.
Colorful fishes and invertebrates seek shelter on Cabo
Pulmo’s coral reefs.
Staghorn hermit crab
Mexican lookdown
Chinese trumpetfish
Aulostomus chinensis
Staghorn hermit crab
Manucomplanus varians
This solitary seahorse relative
is a stealthy hunter with effective ambush techniques. It
can hover almost motionless
and sneak up on prey, or camouflage its slender and supple
body among coral reefs and
wait for something delicious
to crawl or swim by. It also
tracks larger fishes and even
hawksbill sea turtles as they
cruise along, using them as a
blind from which to dart out
and snatch a quick meal.
Panamic fanged blenny
Ophioblennius steindachneri
This streamlined fish does
indeed have “fangs”—
elongated canine teeth that
are used for defense. Its large
eyes and sharp profile contribute to its nickname: the
horse-faced blenny.
What appears to be a crab
wearing antlers on its back is
actually a weird but wonderful
symbiotic relationship. The
crab makes its home in a
staghorn hydrocoral, Janaria
mirabilis, whose stinging cells
offer protection. In return, the
usually sessile hydrocoral gets
to move around and filter feed
on plankton as the mobile
crab forages on the seafloor.
Mexican lookdown
Selene brevoortii
Porcupine puffer
members of coral reef communities. Tropical wrasses
are distinguished by their
brilliant coloring.
Porcupine puffer
Diodon holocanthus
With its big eyes, smiley mouth
and ability to balloon into a
spiky ball, this fish is the most
well-known puffer in the world.
Its fused teeth are beak-like,
which allow it to crack open
crustaceans and satisfy its
huge appetite.
Easily recognizable by its super
slender silhouette and strong,
steep profile, this pelagic fish
also has an exaggerated dorsal
fin. The slim silver fish confuses
predators by facing toward
them and almost disappearing.

What’s New
In the Belly of the Beast:
A Shark Tag’s Travels
“I
f you were to put a Fitbit
on a white shark, where
would you put it?” asks
Monterey Bay Aquarium
research scientist Salvador
Jorgensen. “The answer is
in its stomach.”
Sal and his colleagues
are learning where and
when white sharks feed by
using an electronic tracking
device that works like the
activity-logging Fitbit.
Where a Fitbit tracks steps,
the “Daily Diary” tracks tail
beats. It also monitors
changes in temperature
and pressure.
Knowing when and
where sharks feed will help
researchers identify places
that need protection so
that white sharks can
have plenty of food to
eat in peace.
Devices like the Daily
Diary are a popular way
to study wild animals, Sal
says. But attaching them
to an ocean animal is challenging. It’s relatively easy
to place an accelerometer
on the leg of a sedated
cheetah, but a shark is a
whole other kettle of fish.
8
montereybayaquarium.org
Instead, Sal and his team—
which includes researchers
from the Aquarium, Stanford University and Montana State University—
have the shark do what it
does best: eat.
In the wild, researchers
lured white sharks to a skiff
using a seal-shaped decoy.
They wrapped the two internal tags in whale blubber—like putting medicine
in a dog treat—and fed it to
a shark.
Getting the tag back is
easier than you’d think.
Like owls, sharks eat their
food and later regurgitate
solid and indigestible materials. The regurgitated tag
floats to the surface and
pings its location to the
research team.
The stored data tell the
story of shark feeding
behavior. Sudden bursts
of acceleration indicate
that a shark is swimming
fast to ambush its prey. If
the shark is successful, the
acceleration is followed by
a measurable increase in
stomach temperature.
Paul Walker Awards:
A Lasting Ocean Legacy

“What better gift can we give the next generation than a passion for
science and discovery, and a commitment to caring for the natural world?”
—Executive Director Julie Packard
Our vision for the new Ocean Education and Leadership Center on Cannery
Row in Monterey
Inspiring Future Generations of Ocean Leaders
W
e are very proud that
our educational initiatives were recently
recognized with a
Community Impact
Award from the Silicon Valley
Business Journal. In accepting
the award, Aquarium Trustee
Connie Martinez said, “During the
past 31 years, the Monterey Bay
Aquarium has welcomed more
than 2.2 million schoolchildren
and teachers with free visits and
educational experiences that
have inspired them to care more
and do more for the ocean.”
Our education programs—
made possible by the generosity
of our members and donors—are
helping thousands of children and
young adults become inspired
future leaders, science and ocean
literate, confident and ready to
act on behalf of the future of
our planet.
This work is so important as
threats to the ocean grow more
urgent each day. We’re at a pivotal
time for the planet; we need to
reach more children, teens and
teachers, but demand for our
education programs far exceeds
our capacity to serve.
That’s why we’re excited to
be making plans to open a new
26,000 square-foot Ocean Education and Leadership Center in
2018. The new Center is our most
important undertaking—one that
will benefit the ocean for generations to come and provide every
visiting school group with a staffled program, double the number
of teachers in our institutes and
double the number of teens in
youth leadership programs.
Thanks to the generosity
of hundreds of members and
donors (many of whom increased
their support), we’ve raised
$25 million toward our goal of
$65 million needed to build the
Center and fund our expanding
education programs. We purchased property on Cannery
Row and, provided we have the
funding, will begin construction in
the fall.
The designer of the Center is
the award-winning San Francisco
architectural firm Mark Cavagnero
Associates. Our vision for the
new four-story building includes
Learning Labs and collaboration
spaces, a public exhibit space
and a living roof that will augment programming. The LEEDcertified building will be both
environmentally sensitive and
sustainable, with flexible spaces
for optimal use.
“Our Ocean Education and
Leadership Center will enable us
to broaden and deepen our connection with kids, teachers and
our community,” says Rita Bell,
director of education programs.
“It will help us inspire generations
of young people and prepare
them to act on behalf of
the ocean.”
ctor Paul Walker’s
untimely death cost
the Aquarium—and
the ocean—a great friend.
In collaboration with his
family, we created the Paul
Walker Ocean Leadership
Award to honor others who
are using their public
stature to advance
ocean causes.
Now his daughter
Meadow Walker has created another lasting way to
continue her father’s commitment to protecting the
ocean: The Paul Walker
Foundation. Among the
Foundation’s priorities will
be working with the Aquarium—a place he visited
with Meadow on several
occasions—to identify
exceptional teens who are
passionate about the ocean
and award scholarships so
they can pursue higher
education goals.
Help Us Build Our New Education and Leadership Center
We need to raise $65 million to
make our new Center possible and
to support our education programs
over the next few years. You can
make a difference by joining the
donors who have contributed over
$25 million so far to help make our
new Center a reality.
To make your gift, please call
our Development office at
800-840-4880 or visit
www.montereybayaquarium.org/
educationcenter.
Thank you for your
generous support.
In October, we presented
our 2015 Paul Walker
Ocean Leadership Award to
pop singer and marine conservationist Anjali World.
Anjali’s experience as a
teen volunteer at the
Aquarium sparked her
interest in the ocean. She
went on to earn a degree
in marine ecology from UCBerkeley and co-founded
the nonprofit Jaws & Paws
to support recovery of sea
turtles, sharks, polar bears
and other species—and to
encourage others to
get involved.
We also recognized 2015
Paul Walker Youth Award
recipient Katie Ridgway of
Monterey. A Teen
Conservation Leader and
volunteer at the Aquarium,
Katie contributes to marine
research at Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine
Station related to the impacts of climate change on
the ocean. She’s also creating a club for like-minded
teens who dive and snorkel,
to video and record the
health of Monterey Bay.
During the ceremonies,
The Paul Walker Foundation also made a contribution toward our Ocean
Education and Leadership
Center, so we can continue
to develop new generations
of ocean leaders.

Creating a Legacy for the Ocean
O
n vacation in 1988, Texas natives
Karen and Phil Drayer joined the
Monterey Bay Aquarium. When
they relocated to Pebble Beach in
1991, Karen began what she often refers to
as "the 10 happiest years of my life." Karen
devoted over 5,000 hours of volunteer
service, first as a volunteer guide and then
caring for orphaned sea otter pups during
the critical first weeks and months after
rescue—often working through the night.
Her work here fueled her passion for animal care. When we reached out to Karen
after Hurricane Katrina with a desperate plea
to help us transport sea otters and penguins
to Monterey from the badly damaged
Aquarium of the Americas, she and Phil
readily agreed.

work will be needed far into the future.
That is why they have made a major commitment to the Aquarium—their legacy for
the ocean—with the Karen and Phil Drayer
Endowment Fund for the Future of the
Ocean. Their thoughtful and generous
support will have significant impact for
the ocean and ocean wildlife—forever.
"The Aquarium is one of the few places we have
entrusted with the future of our planet."
Over the past three decades, they have
done much to advance our understanding of
the threats facing sea otters and to inspire
ocean conservation, but the Drayers are
forward thinkers and recognize that our
