At the Monterey Bay Aquarium,were deeply involved in addressingtwo of the oceans gravest threats:industrial-scale seafood productionand global climate change.

Our Seafood Watch program ishaving far-reaching impacts, thanksto a growing number of partnershipswith major seafood buyers. Theseinclude our newest partner, SantaMonica Seafood and a relationshipwith Target stores, among others.

Growing awareness and demandfor sustainable seafood exists becauseso many of you carry and use our

Seafood Watch cards. By harnessingthe power of the marketplace, wereseeing real change in fishing and fish-farming methods change that willultimately mean healthier oceans.

Were also working with visitors hereand with leading aquarium colleaguesnationwide to raise awareness aboutthe connections between climate

change and the oceans, and involvemore people in climate solutions.

Our newest special exhibition,Hot Pink Flamingos: Stories of Hopein a Changing Sea, is one importantstep. Through incredible animals suchas flamingos, roseate spoonbills andgreen sea turtles, well engage visitorswith the subject of changing oceans.Major funding from the NationalOceanic and AtmosphericAdministration makes it possiblefor us to offer special programs andpresentations that complement ournew exhibits and encourage visitors to

take positive and meaningful actions.Im excited about the possibilities,and encouraged by our progress.

Our conservation mission will againbe the focus of several new openocean exhibits opening in July 2011.Well close the second floor of theOuter Bay wing in late August, asconstruction begins. Ill share

more about our exciting plans forthese new galleries with you in themonths ahead.

With your support, weare making adifference for theoceans. Im especiallygrateful to everyone who generouslygave toour new Childrens EducationFund. Yourcontributions will help usinspire new generationsof ocean lead-ers. Weneed their talents, whether theissue is sustainable seafood, climatechange or thepreservation of criticalocean habitats.

Thank you for all that you do.

The challenges facing the oceans today are enormous but so is the capacity for people to engage and makea difference. For all of us who cherish the oceansdiversity and beauty, there is not a moment to lose.

BigChallenges, BigSolutionsby Michael Sutton

One of our top priorities isshifting seafood consumption

in directions that preserve thehealth of ocean ecosystems, andour Seafood Watch program ismoving the dial in significantways. If you carry a SeafoodWatch card, or use our iPhoneapp, youre helping tocreate a groundswellfor change thatsaffecting the policiesof major seafood buy-ers and their suppliers.

Were very pleased thatTarget Corp., in consultationwith our Seafood Watch team,has elected to stop carryingunsustainably farmed salmonin its 1,744 stores nationwide.At the same time, our SeafoodWatch research team identifieda new method for closed-con-tainment farming of Pacificsalmon in fresh water amethod that, if widely adopted,offers an environmentally andeconomically promising avenuefor salmon aquaculture.

Another major seafood buyer,Compass Group North America,also worked closely withus to develop purchas-ing standards forsustainably farmedshrimp. In order to sellfarmed shrimp toCompass Group,

suppliers must verify viaindependent, third-party audit that they are meeting thesepurchasing standards.

This marks the first timeweve recognized standards for

production of imported farmedshrimp as sustainable, and it

offers a path for producers tomeet these standards and berewarded in the marketplace.

Weve also formed a newpartnership with Santa Monica

Seafood the largestseafood distributor insouthern California andthe Southwest toshift its purchases tomore sustainable items.It is using its relation-ships with customers

throughout the region to influ-ence their seafood purchasesin a more sustainable direction.

Were also hard at work, onmany fronts, to change atti-tudes and spark action to dealwith the impacts of global cli-mate change on the oceans.Significantly, the Center forOcean Solutions our three-way collaboration with StanfordUniversity and the MontereyBay Aquarium Research Insti-tute was a major player atthe Copenhagen climate talkslast December. It convened a

special scientific sessionto raise awareness aboutthe serious effects onocean ecosystemsfrom changing oceanchemistry andwarming waters.

Were confronting big issues inour efforts to ensure a futurewith healthy oceans, and wereup to the challenge. With yourhelp, well continue to havereal impact.

Research notes fromMBARIby Kim FultonBennett

If youve ever watched aNational Geographic or BBC

special on the deep sea, chancesare youve seen some of thebreathtaking video that MBARIhas collected over the years. Buttheres much more to video than just pretty pictures.

We record video every timewe send one of ourremotely operatedvehicles (ROVs) into thedepths of the ocean.This video is anessential part of thescientific record,showing animalbehaviors, fragile body parts,and subtle colors that areoften destroyed when animalsare collected.

During each ROV dive, oneresearcher directs the dive andcontrols the high-definitionvideo camera on the ROV.A second researcher operatesa video-recording deck and runsa program called VARS (VideoAnnotation and ReferenceSystem), which helps us takenotes about what were seeing.

After each ROV dive,experts in our video labwatch all of the footage,and try to identify everyanimal that appears onscreen. These observa-

tions are entered into theVARS database.

VARS not only helps us takenotes, but allows us to lookup things weve seen duringprevious dives. The VARS data-base currently contains over

3.5 million observations coveringalmost 18,000hours of videotape,

dating back toMBARIs first ROVdives in 1989. This scientificgold-mine has yielded almost200 scientific articles.

For example, a researcher study-ing Humboldt squid can easilyuse VARS to find out exactly

when and where weveseen these animals overthe past 20 years, aswell as the chemistryand temperature of theseawater in which theywere swimming.

Using such data miningtechniques, MBARI researchersdiscovered that Humboldt squidwere essentially unknown inMonterey Bay between 1989 and1997, but by 2002 had becomeyear-round residents. Werecurrently planning more studieslike this to document changesin deep-sea animal communitiesthat may result from oceanacidification or global warming.

These days, you dont have towait for a National Geographic

special to see MBARIsvideos. We are postingsome of our most spec-tacular footage on theAquariums website andon YouTube (www.youtube.com/user/

MBARIvideo). However, my fa-vorite place to see these videosis still the Mysteries of theDeep show in the Aquariumsauditorium, where you can ap-preciate these amazing animalson the big screen.

nopias triacis

The snubnose sculpin has a blunt snout, and visible scales cover it from the topof the head to the first dorsal fin.

This fish is one of the smallest of the scorpionfishes, alarge order of fishes with spiny, sharprays that pack asting due to tips coated in venomous mucus. Adult snubnose sculpins grow to just under four inches.

What do Chileanflamingos, greensea turtles andspotted jellies havein common? Eachhas a story to tellabout how theircoastal and ocean

homes are being affected by globalclimate change.

Hot Pink Flamingos: Stories of Hopein a Changing Sea, our newest specialexhibition, connects you with these in-credible animals and their stories, andshares how communities around theworld are working creatively to slow

the progress of climate change.While most of us have read or seen

news reports about the ways climatechange is affecting people and animalson land, most people dont connectthese effects to the oceans. But issuessuch as rising sea levels, warmingwater temperatures and changes inocean chemistry threaten the survivalof marine species and ecosystems and ultimately, the health of our planet.

We wanted to do something engag-ing, says Jeff Hoke, senior exhibitdesigner for Hot Pink Flamingos .We wanted to connect people withanimals, and show them theres hope

in human ingenuity and commitmentto positive change. Instead of talkingabout problems, were talking aboutthe solutions.

In the exhibits first gallery youllmeet tropical wad-ing birds includingexotic scarlet andwhite ibises andstriking roseatespoonbills andlearn how risingsea levels will affect

their habitats and our own coastalcities. In subsequent galleries youllvisit a vibrant coral reef community,

commune with young sea turtles, andspy on a busy colony of Magellanicpenguins. Throughout, videos andhands-on activities illustrate the waysin which human actions impact theseanimals and their ocean homes.

Though these stories are happeningevery day, many visitors will be hearingthem for the first time.

People hear about coral reefsand the peril that theyre in, but dontnecessarily connect it with climatechange, says David Cripe, specialexhibit coordinator.

Part of Davids job is to chooseanimals for our special exhibitions. For

Hot Pink Flamingos ,he picked animals heknew people wouldfind compelling, andthat have powerfulstories to tell.

The connectionbetween corals and

ocean acidification is a new story thatpeople arent going to be aware of, butwill really care about, he says. Thatswhy we juxtaposed a coral cemeterywith a really beautiful live coral ex-hibit. The contrast is dramatic.

Throughout the exhibits sixgalleries are talkback stations where

you can share your thoughts aboutclimate change your hopes andconcerns as well as the ways youand your friends and family aretaking action.

The hook for me is that theproblem of climate change is goingto be solved by human ingenuity,Jeff says. There are a lot of creativeways people are approaching theproblem. That, for me, is where thehope is.

Deep-sea coralGersemia juliepackardae

Monterey Bay Aquarium ResearchInstitute scientists have named adeep-sea coral in honor of Julie

Packard. Gersemia juliepackardaerecognizes Julies dedication tooceanstewardship and conservation,and her work elevating public aware-ness of the oceans. The delicate,pale-pink soft coralwas discoveredin 2004. Since then, it has beenobserved and collected at variousseamounts in the Pacific Ocean.

We recently introduced four femaleAfrican blackfooted penguins toour Splash Zone colony. Now themale-to-female ratio is more even

(11 males, 10 females). The newbirds are named for places in SouthAfrica, including Betty (for BettysBay), Messina, Oshana and Sabie.

Scalloped hammerhead sharkSphyrna lewini

Easily identified by its unmistakablehammer-shaped head, scallopedhammerheads are unusual amongsharks because they often travel inschools. The elongated head mayimprove its ability to track prey, andincrease agility and maneuverabilityover that of other sharks.

Most shark populations worldwideare at historically low levels due toserious overfishing. Scientists esti-mate 100 million sharks are caught

and killed each year, many just fortheir fins for traditional delicacieslike shark-fin soup. Since sharksmature slowly and give birth to afew young at a time, most do notreproduce quickly enough to keep upwith the intense level of fishing andaccidental catch.

at the sea life below. On the deck above,cameras in hands, their parents watchedand waited.

Is your son having a good time? a staffmember asked one of the dads. With alook of amazement on his face, he shared

this story: He and his son had driven fromSan Jose the day before for what wassupposed to be a half-day visit. Whenthey learned the boy could sign up forour Underwater Explorers program starting in just 15 minutes they jumpedat the chance.
