Organizations to Follow and Support

 

Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
a nonprofit oceanographic research center

“…As MBARI moves into its fourth decade, we remain committed to our core founding principles: broadly sharing our data and technology, using our unique science and engineering partnership to explore and understand the ocean from atoms to ecosystems, and educating the public about the ocean’s importance in our daily lives. We also embrace the need to apply our expertise toward addressing the pressing global challenges that have emerged since our founding: combating climate change and advancing sustainable marine resource management. MBARI is working toward a future where the breathtaking majesty of our ocean is fully visible, a future where our home-grown technology is scaled globally to monitor and predict ecosystem changes, and a future where the most important frontier we have left is healthy and resilient.”
