A leafy sea dragon (Credit: Monterey Bay Aquarium) On April 6, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has opened a new special exhibit, The Secret Lives of Seahorses . The exhibit features more than 15 species of seahorses and related creatures; it is one of the nation’s largest collections of such animals. I look forward to getting to see this special exhibit on a future visit to Monterey. Seahorses are some of the oddest looking animals in the sea, especially the sea dragons. Pictured above is the...

The young white shark brought to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on August 27 has now been released back into the wild after 11 days on exhibit. She was captured on August 16 in Santa Monica Bay and has now been safely returned to the same waters. During her stay at the Monterey Bay Aquarium she lived in their million-gallon Outer Bay exhibit, but despite her relatively roomy accommodation she only fed once and the staff decided that she would be better of in the wild.

Dr. Jorgensen has provided us with the SPOT tag track which was... Read Full Story

In my opinion, it's a little more catered towards short people (aka: kids) but it's still appealing and interesting for all ages - that even includes the hard to... Read Full Story
Ok, I guess I SHOULD comment on the EU plan of action for sharks that was released on the 5th of February, but since both my hard drive and I decided to crash on the same day (no worries, it was just a cold for me and I had a recent back up of my hard drive so I didn’t loose that much data), I haven’t had the time or energy to go through it yet. I will return to it later. So, my blog today will be about sharks in captivity. I have to admit that I have a very split opinion about this. Or maybe... Read Full Story
