Opening Into the Deep

After more than five years of hard work and scientific breakthroughs in animal care, we opened Into the Deep: Exploring our Undiscovered Ocean/En lo Profundo: Explorando Nuestro Océano Desconocido in April. The trailblazing exhibition was developed in collaboration with our partner, MBARI.

Visitors have been delighted and inspired as they “descend” into the deep sea to learn about its diverse animals and ecosystems and the scientists studying this largest and leastexplored area of our planet.

When we opened Into the Deep/ En lo Profundo in April, we hosted previews for donors and members. During one of the previews, Julie Packard welcomed members of the Leadership Council of the Packards’ Circle to the Aquarium.

Donors enjoyed an exclusive look at the exhibition and the opportunity to meet with staff responsible for developing it. They also enjoyed a free-flowing conversation between Julie and marine science pioneer Dr. Sylvia Earle about ocean exploration and protection.
