Can a person learn to love seaweed? It’s a major feature of Monterey Bay, and we just added great examples to our Touch Pools, including dead man’s fingers (Codium sp.), ribbed kelp (Castoria sp.) and even beautiful sea palm (Postelsia sp.), which we collect in very limited amounts with special permission of the California Department of Fish and Game!
The Monterey Bay Aquarium, perched on the edge of a world-famous coastline, is your window to the wonders of the ocean. It’s located on historic Cannery Row in Monterey and is open daily except Christmas Day.
For more information about our animals and exhibits, and to view our live web cams, please visit www.montereybayaquarium.org.
