Director’s Note
J U L I E PA C K A R D
Executive Director
The impact of the Aquarium’s work on behalf of healthy oceans
is growing—and I want to thank you for the support that makes
all of this possible. More and more, we’re influencing ocean issues
around the globe in transformative ways.
I believe that
there is a subtle
magnetism in
nature, which,
if we unconsciously
yield to it, will
direct us aright.
– Henry David Thoreau
Tens of millions of people have
connected with us as visitors over
the years, and they trust us when
we weigh in on ocean issues. We’ve
earned their trust by grounding our
actions in rigorous science. Because
the challenges facing the ocean are so
urgent, we’re investing more deeply in
our conservation and science work—
building a first-class team that is making a difference with policymakers and
with businesses whose purchasing
decisions can set the bar for how
seafood is farmed and caught.
We’re collaborating across the Pacific
to restore bluefin tuna populations that
have fallen to less than five percent of
their historic level. We’re working in
Southeast Asia to strengthen shrimp
farm standards and bring new sources
of sustainably farmed seafood into
the marketplace.
And we expect major announcements from business partners later this
year about their progress in fulfilling
commitments to purchase sustainable
seafood—commitments that create
market incentives for ocean-friendly
fishing practices.
This past year, the critical nature
of our work was recognized by Wendy
and Eric Schmidt, who pledged $10
million to help us accelerate the reach
and impact of our seafood work.
You can learn more about what
we’re doing on pages 4 and 5, and
on the new Conservation & Science
pages we’ve added to our website.
Change is driven by individual leadership, and as we continue to deepen
our programs for young people to
build a new generation of ocean conservation leaders, we’re seeing great
results. In February, former student
volunteer Sarah-Mae Nelson—now a
member of our staff—was honored by
the White House as a “Champion of
Change” for climate education. And,
our local news featured the story of
two students from farmworker families
who completed our Watsonville-based
Teens Conserving Habitats program
and are enrolled in Ivy League
schools—the first in their families
to attend college.
We’ve raised more than $22 million
for our Children’s Education Fund,
toward our goal of doubling the
impact of programs that influence
young women and men like these.
Thank you to everyone who has
contributed to the campaign thus far.
There’s more to do, but imagine the
dividends when we expand our work
through our new Ocean Education and
Leadership Center.
We’ll continue to share great
stories like these in Shorelines—but
we’ve listened to your feedback about
how much paper and other resources
it takes to publish a member newsletter.
As you can see, we’re printing fewer
pages and focusing on the content
you’ve told us you most want to see.
Our online channels are the best way
to access the latest news and to plan
your visit, including our website and
monthly updates for E-news subscribers.
Thank you for playing such an
important role in all that we do. I hope
to see you at the Aquarium soon.

Business and seafood sustainability
With foodservice companies such as Aramark and
Compass Group North
America—the two largest
in North America—and
retailers like Whole Foods,
Safeway and Target, we’re
using our influence to

he rich fishing history and
incredible rebirth of
Monterey Bay is the theme
of our dynamic new summer
deck show, starting June 20.
Told on both land and sea—in
our Great Tide Pool—”Turning
the Tide: The Story of Monterey
Bay” weaves a tale about the diverse cultures that arrived from
all over the world on the shores
of Monterey Bay in search of a
better life.
Guests will see a parade of
cultures and the special tools
and talents they used to harvest
the living bounty of Monterey
Bay. For example, RumsienOhlone Native Americans fished
from boats made of tule, a type
of local bulrush, and the show
features an authentic tule boat
navigating the Great Tide Pool.
Other artifacts include a
Chinese sampan boat dangling
a “fire basket” used to lure squid
to the surface, and a free diver
demonstrating the techniques
of Japanese abalone fishermen.
Guests will hear how skilled Sicilian
fishermen turned Monterey into
“The Sardine Capital of the World.”
Images and other visual
content about the cultures will
splash across two large monitors
in this multimedia program.
Live storytellers will share
tales about how people of different cultures made a living off the
seemingly inexhaustible bounty
of the bay, until its resources
almost disappeared forever.
The lively history lesson includes
stories about the passion and
efforts of conservation-minded
people and groups—including
those at the Aquarium—who
helped restore balance to the bay.
Mike Chamberlain, our
manager of innovation, is
excited to share this new
show with summer visitors.
“Everyone loves a story, and
the history of Monterey Bay is
one of the best,” he says. “It’s full
of drama, history, adversity and,
ultimately, redemption. We hope
guests walk away with a better
understanding of and more
appreciation for the incredible
bay they see right in front
of them.”
Join us at the Aquarium for
a Summer Nights Seashore
Sleepover! Starting at 6 p.m.,
enjoy live music and wine
tasting during Evenings by
the Bay. When the doors
close at 8 p.m., continue to
explore the Aquarium at
your leisure, and enjoy special programs and a light
bedtime snack. End the
evening with a late-night
nature movie before
sleeping in front of your
favorite exhibit. Wake up with
the fishes and enjoy a continental breakfast in the Cafe.

What’s New
Explore the Deep Sea in
‘Mission to the Deep’ Exhibit
W
e now offer two
complementary
deep-sea experiences to fuel your fascination with this alien world.
You can embark on a
virtual deep-sea expedition
in the newly re-imagined
“Mission to the Deep”
exhibit, and dive deeper
in a companion
auditorium program.
Both highlight the valuable work of our partners
at the Monterey Bay
Aquarium Research Institute
(MBARI). MBARI is a world
leader in developing new
technologies to expand the
frontiers of ocean science
and conservation.
Inside the new “Mission
to the Deep” exhibit, a 360degree video projection of
the nearly 2.5 mile-deep
Monterey Canyon will immerse you in a simulated
underwater world.
Overhead, a half-scale
model of MBARI’s undersea
robot, the remotely operated vehicle Doc Ricketts,
shines a spotlight around a
8
montereybayaquarium.org
virtual underwater landscape, revealing videos of
mesmerizing deep-sea
animals such as vampire
squid, sea toads and jellies
that grow more than three
feet across.
Interactive displays let
you take a simulated dive
deep into Monterey Canyon.
You control the dive, and
can stop at different depths
to learn more about the
animals or research equipment you see along the way.
“MBARI is so much more
than discovering unusual
animals,” said Senior Exhibit Developer Raúl Nava.
“This exhibit shows how the
Institute is monitoring the
pulse of the ocean, and
its incredible—and
fragile— biodiversity.”
The “Mission to the
Deep” exhibit is a companion to the Aquarium’s new
“Exploring the Deep Sea”
auditorium program. In this
dynamic 15-minute program, presenters use
gorgeous high-definition
video to share the discoveries MBARI scientists are
making about life in the
deep sea—and the surprising links they’ve uncovered
between ocean health and
human health.

t’s not every day the
White House tells you
you’re doing a great job.
But that’s what happened
to conservation interpreter
Sarah-Mae Nelson when
she was named a “Champion of Change for Climate
Education and Literacy.”
A live-streamed event in
Washington, D.C. in January celebrated Sarah-Mae
and seven other honorees
for their extraordinary
work “to enhance climate
education and literacy in
classrooms and communities across the country,”
according to the
White House.
Sarah-Mae says she’s
surprised and grateful.
“I never dreamed as a 5year-old on my first visit to
the Monterey Bay Aquarium that the wonders I beheld would help to shape
my life, and that one day I
would spend my adult life
helping to shape the future
of protection for the entire
ocean,” she says.
Sarah-Mae creates and
shares specialized training
materials focusing on
climate literacy and interpretation. She has helped
train hundreds of staff and
volunteers to effectively
discuss climate change
impacts and solutions
with our 2 million
annual visitors.
“I would not be here
today if it wasn’t for the
support of the entire
Aquarium family, who
have been part of my
life for the last 20 years,”
she says.
A San Jose native,
Sarah-Mae came to the
Aquarium in 1996 as a volunteer student guide, and
served in a volunteer
capacity until 2006, when
she joined our staff. In
2009 she became our
first-ever climate change
interpretive specialist, and
last year became conservation interpreter.
She is also online
community manager
for climateinterpreter.org,
a forum where informal
science educators from
aquariums, zoos, museums
and parks nationwide
share resources that help
the public better understand climate change.

A Legacy for the Oceans
G
eorge “Ike” Martin was an outdoorsman who, with his wife Jo Ann at
his side, enjoyed many hunting and
fishing trips in the wilderness from
northern California to Alaska. Both were
passionate about wildlife conservation.
They began supporting the Aquarium in
1995, and believed in the importance of
educating future generations to care
about and care for the natural world.
They were native Californians; Ike was
born in Stockton in 1927 and Jo Ann grew
up in San Francisco and the Bay Area in the
1930s. After serving his country as a Marine,
Ike worked for Dole Food Company as vice
president of sales for the European market.
Jo Ann worked in a crafts store, and they
made their home in San Jose.

through a designation from their living
trust. All told, their wonderful contribution
exceeded $500,000. Now, through the
George “Ike” Martin and Jo Ann Martin
Endowment Fund for the Future of the
Oceans, their legacy will support our work
and advance our mission to inspire
conservation of the oceans…forever.
They often visited the Aquarium and
were Packards’ Circle donors for nearly
20 years. In 2014, they established their
legacy for ocean conservation through a
very generous bequest to the Aquarium.
Their bequest came in the form of a
distribution from their IRA accounts and
