The diversity of marine life in Monterey Bay has attracted an unparalleled cluster of world-class research institutions, making our region a hotspot for both wildlife and ocean science. Join us to learn about some of the groundbreaking work our research community is undertaking using incredible tools such as undersea robots and electronic satellite tags. They’re unraveling mysteries about great white sharks, the northward invasion of Humboldt squid, and new species living on the slopes of little-explored seamounts. Their work is having an impact far beyond Monterey Bay, helping inform ocean science and management policies both nationally and internationally.
