A lifetime of love for the ocean

Alan Feinberg and his wife Joan Weber — two generous supporters of the Aquarium — share a lifetime of love for the ocean. When they decided to leave a legacy that reflects their passion for protecting the marine environment, they selected us because of our reputation as a global leader in ocean conservation.

They were impressed by the Aquarium’s Endowment Fund because it supports our education programs, which foster interest, knowledge, and skills in marine biology and conservation. “Inspiring and educating today’s children and teens is vital to develop the next generation of ocean advocates who can carry forward the exceptional work that the Monterey Bay Aquarium is doing today,” says Joan.

To help support this important work, they created a named fund — making an outright gift now and a bequest from their estate that will add to the fund in the future. We are delighted to recognize the new Alan Feinberg and Joan Weber Endowment Fund for Education.

With deep gratitude, profound respect, and great sadness, we acknowledge the generosity of the following members of the Betty White Ocean Legacy Circle who passed away in recent years. Their legacy gifts will have a lasting impact on our work to inspire conservation of the ocean.
