Our original exhibit focus was largelylocal. Today, we work around the worldto secure the health of the ocean forfuture generations. I’m proud of themany ways that the Aquarium hasbecome a recognized global leaderin ocean conservation, and I’m sograteful for your support.
We’re approaching the task on manyfronts. Our fabulous new special exhibi-tion, ¡Viva Baja! Life on the Edge, displaysincredible marine animals from theGulf of California and tells importantconservation stories about the grow-ing movement to protect the region’sliving resources. Our research andpolicy teams are collaborating withscientists, conservation groups andthe government in Mexico to make adifference for marine life there—from fisheries reform to studyingwhite sharks in coastal waters.
We’ve also stepped up our actions toaddress climate change and its effectson ocean health. We’re speaking out inCalifornia, where the state has taken aleading role on this issue, and areworking with Monterey Peninsulacommunities to adapt to the unavoidableimpacts of climate change.
For our own part, our planned Centerfor Ocean Education and Leadership isdesigned to meet U.S. Green BuildingCouncil LEED Gold standards for sus-tainability, including solar panels, pas-sive solar heating and a living roof. Notonly will we be able to double the impactof our education programs—we’ll do soin a building that delivers messagesabout environmental responsibility.
You can learn more about our climatecommitments on our website and in theFuture of the Ocean blog, wherewe regularly share updates about ourconservation research and oceanpolicy programs.
We’re tackling the ubiquitous plasticpollution that fouls beaches and findsits way into ocean food webs acrossthe globe. We championed Californialegislation that became the model fora new federal law phasing out plasticmicrobeads from personal care prod-ucts. We joined earlier this year with theCalifornia Latino Legislative Caucus fora Sacramento briefing on the effectsplastic pollution is having on the state’sfreshwater and ocean waters. And we’rebacking the statewide campaign touphold California’s ban on single-use
plastic shopping bags.Internationally, we’re regarded more
than ever as a trusted voice in the sus-tainable seafood movement. With ourbusiness partners, we’re helping shiftaquaculture production overseas inmore ocean-friendly directions throughalliances with peer organizations aroundthe world and by working directly withmajor producers in Southeast Asia andother regions.
We worked with the Obama Adminis-tration to inform new U.S. laws and poli-cies that ban the import of seafoodcaught using illegal, unreported andunregulated fishing methods. And,because of our expertise in conveninghigh-level gatherings, we hosted a first-ever symposium of bluefin tuna expertsto chart a path toward sustainability fora species that is both iconic and a vitalplayer in global ocean ecosystems.
We’re able to reach out fromMonterey Bay to the world—and makea difference—all because of your helpand support. Many thanks for all youmake possible!

While Monterey Bay’s waters are protected, they’re connectedto the global ocean and vulnerable to all the threats facing theocean worldwide. Today, the impacts of climate change from ourunchecked burning of fossil fuels are transforming the ocean andthreatening the integrity of the living systems that sustain lifeon Earth.

It has been made both more vulnera-ble—and strengthened—by humanactivity, including from its neighborshere in the United States. Much workremains to safeguard incredibly rich
communities of animals, plants and habi-tats that were once shielded by Baja’sisolation and very arid climate.
“Baja California might seem faraway, but we’re closely connected tothis special place,” says Senior Exhibit
Developer Raúl Nava. “Our choices andour actions affect this wild coast, andwe hope the exhibition shows visitorshow we can make a positive impact inBaja and beyond.”
You’ll meet the wildlife and learn moreabout some of the problems—and solu-tions—facing our southern neighbors inour new ¡Viva Baja! Life on the Edgespecial exhibition. We also tell the storyof charismatic animals that migrate to
Baja each year in a new auditoriumprogram, “Journey to Baja: A Tale ofThree Travelers” (see page 6 for details).You’ll learn what you can do to help, andwhy you should.
Inside ¡Viva Baja! you’ll encounterhands-on exhibits with time-lapse anima-tion and interactive animal models thatshow how life adapts to conditions in thecomplex communities of Baja’s coastaldeserts, mangrove forests and coral reefs.Another engaging multimedia display letsyou color your own tropical fish and“release” it into a virtual coral reef.
A short, narrated video introduces theiconic marine mammals that live off BajaCalifornia. We share how conservationgroups, scientists and legislators helpedto bring gray whales back to Baja’s warm
Life in Baja California is unique and fragile,and occupies one of the most biologicallydiverse natural habitats in the world.

Baja California is home to oneof the largest tropical reefson Earth—a UNESCO / WorldHeritage site at Cabo Pulmo.

waters. But we also share how we mustwork together again to save the criticallyendangered vaquita—the world’s small-est porpoise, whose striking markings haveearned it the nickname “the panda ofthe sea.” Sadly, fewer than 100 remainin the wild.
Other interactive exhibits exploremajor threats to Baja’s habitats—water diversion, illegal fishing,
overfishing and coastal development.They also show how people workingcooperatively have helped addressthese threats.
For example, the Colorado River onceemptied into the Gulf of California. Butdams, development and agriculture inthe United States dried up the river in
the northern Gulf of California, leavingbehind dry streambeds. Our demand forwater comes at a cost—vital wetlandsand other coastal habitats now struggleto survive.
A historic agreement in 2013 betweenthe United States and Mexico partiallyrestored the Colorado’s flow. An allianceof conservation groups helped secureenough water to support both farms andwetlands. Slowly, the delta and coastalcommunities are beginning to rebound—but there’s still work ahead.
In the case of reefs at Cabo Pulmo offthe southern tip of Baja California—oneof the oldest coral reefs in the northernPacific Ocean—conservation groupsworked with the Mexican governmentto end decades of overfishing that
depleted its rich marine life. Today,it’s a designated National Marine Parkas well as a UNESCO World Heritage site.Former fishermen are now ecotourismguides. But people must be diligent inmonitoring coastal development to keepCabo Pulmo thriving and healthy.
“Baja California faces a rising tide ofthreats, but we’re at a crossroads rightnow,” says Raúl. “If we act now, we havean opportunity to make a difference andpreserve this special place.”

While you’re visiting ¡Viva
Baja! Life on the Edge, be
sure to take in the com-
pelling new auditorium program
we’ve created to complement our
newest special exhibition.
“Journey to Baja: A Tale of
Three Travelers” follows the mi-
grations of three far-ranging ani-
mals that share a common trait:
all three travel to Baja California
to have their young. A live pre-
senter traces the journeys of
gray whales, brown pelicans and
elephant seals to remote and
protected islands and beaches.
The story of these charismatic
animals and their young is even
more extraordinary when you
learn that not long ago, we almost
lost them completely. Hunters
nearly wiped out elephant seals
and gray whales during the 19th
century. The pesticide DDT caused
pelicans to lay eggs with thin
shells that cracked under the
weight of their parents.
In the early 1970s, people
made their voices heard and
sparked passage of sweeping
environmental laws to ensure
clean air and water, as well as

protections for marine mammals.
“The recovery of these species
from the brink of extinction is one
of the most remarkable conserva-
tion success stories ever,” says
Mike Chamberlain, innovation
director for the Guest Experience
Department. “It’s inspiring to know
that it happened because people
demanded we protect these
majestic animals.”
We’re called to step up again
today to address the equally
urgent threat of climate change.
“Journey to Baja” features
stunning cinematography by
IMAX filmmaker Johnny Friday
and a beautiful musical score
created for the show by
acclaimed acoustic guitarist
Peppino D’Agostino.
We hope you’ll be energized
by this heartwarming program

Asea otter pup we rescued
on a stormy winter day is
now settled in at her new
home at Shedd Aquarium,
thanks to a longtime
collaboration with our famed
Chicago colleague.
Ellie, formerly known to us as
pup 719—since she’s the 719th
otter we’ve taken in since 1984—thrived under round-the-clock care
from our sea otter program staff
after we rescued her in January.
Ours is the only program in
the world that rescues and cares
for stranded southern sea otter
pups. We raise pups for release
back into the wild, and try to
place non-releasable pups in
long-term homes at accredited
U.S. aquariums and zoos.
Prepping a pup for release to
the wild is an intensive, long-term
project that enlists our adult
female exhibit sea otters as surro-
gate mothers. When pup 719
stranded, all available surrogates
were already paired with other
rescued pups. Luckily, our friends
at Shedd Aquarium had room in
their sea otter exhibit.
We prepped pup 719 for her big
move to Chicago by acclimating
her to face-to-face human care
We Find a New Home
What’s New
Listening to Monterey Bay
Scientists and engi-
neers at the Mon-
terey Bay Aquarium
Research Institute (MBARI)
have installed an ultra-sen-
sitive seafloor hydrophone
about 3,000 feet below the
surface of Monterey Bay.
The hydrophone can pick
up sounds too low or too
high for humans to hear—from the deep rumbles of
blue whales to the high-
pitched squeaks and clicks
of common dolphins.
“We’re trying to charac-
terize the soundscape of
Monterey Bay,” says John
Ryan, the biological
oceanographer in charge of
the hydrophone project.
“This includes biological
sounds, such as vocaliza-
tions of marine mammals,
the sounds of physical
processes such as wind and
rain, and the sounds of
human activities.”
MBARI researchers are
still trying to figure out how
to analyze this barrage of
sounds, which are being
continuously recorded. One
approach is to turn the
sound into a moving pic-
ture—a “spectrogram” that
shows how sounds change
over time. Acoustics
experts can “read” these
spectrograms to identify
the sounds of specific
marine mammals.
Researchers were
excited to see frequent
calls by Baird’s and Cuvier’s
beaked whales. They spend
most of their time diving in
deep water and are almost
never seen at the surface,
so very little is known
about them.
According to John,
“We’re still in the process of
demonstrating what’s pos-
sible with this new instru-
ment. So far we’ve only had
time to look at a few snip-
pets of sound. And yet, each
one has had something
wonderful in it.”
Hydrophones pick up and record the unique sound profileof marine mammals like common dolphins.

during swimming and grooming
sessions, bottle feeding and the
transition from formula to
solid food.
After two weeks, a Shedd ani-
mal trainer arrived to meet the
pup and work with our team on
her training. Following a week of
close collaboration, we said
farewell to Ellie. She was accom-
panied by the trainer and Shedd’s
veterinarian on the flight to her
new home.
We’ve been studying the
southern sea otter since 1984
with the aim of understanding
threats to the population and
promoting its recovery in the
wild. This critically needed work
costs over $1 million each year,
and we rely on member and
donor support to make
it possible—thank you!

Volunteers play a fundamental role inadvancing the Aquarium’s mission toinspire conservation of the ocean,and we’re deeply grateful to them
for so generously sharing their knowledge,time and passion for the ocean.
Our board of trustees is no exception,and we wish to recognize founding trusteeJack Parker for his generosity and dedica-tion to the Aquarium.
Jack started his career in 1939 in theshipbuilding industry, and during WorldWar II was in charge of constructing 37Liberty Ships. He joined General Electricin 1950, and by 1968 he was vice chairman.
A close friend of the Packard family,Jack considered the Aquarium a “worldtreasure” and was thrilled to see it succeed.
Jack also cared deeply about our educa-tion programs for children and teachersand wanted to leave a gift that would allowthe Aquarium to continue to grow andthrive after his lifetime. Through his verygenerous bequest, he created a legacy thatwill allow us to inspire future generationsof ocean stewards for years to come.
In his note to Julie Packard on the occa-sion of our 25th anniversary, Jack wrote,“You have done a magnificent job. Dave
was a great longtime friend and I miss himstill, but YOU have made the difference incarrying out his family dream. We areall very grateful.”
