Oh abandoned Blog. I've let you down with my prolonged absence. But in light of oil spills, crab seasons, and my ever-loyal readers-- I cannot stay away from you. Aquatic Blog is back (in baby blue!) with a crop of exciting new aquatic tales...
I thought it best, on this relaunching post, to visit Aquatic Blog's personal Mecca-- The Monterey Bay Aquarium. Opened in October of 1984, the MBA - along with its sister organization, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (in Moss Landing) is one of the largest aquariums in the world. Funded largely by the Packard family, it has over 35,000 plants and animals, and 550 species. The famous Outer Bay exhibit alone contains over 1 million gallons of sea water. MBA was also featured in Startrek IV, "The Voyage Home" (where it was apparently called "The Sausalito Cetacean Institute"). You can check out the MBA website -- even send aquarium e-cards.
Special Friend to Aquatic Blog visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium and brought us back these lovely photos:
Stay tuned for more exciting aquatic blogs to come...(Incidentally, this re-launching is in the memory of one Gilda the Goldfish -- couldn't have aqua-blogged without her:)
