WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE SEA OTTER TANK AT THE MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM?

One of several web cams at the MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM, you can watch sea life such as sharks, octopus, and kept beds.

THE BAY FOUNDATION - RESTORATION OF THE KELP BEDS

SANTA MONICA BAY - BAY FOUNDATION 

EXCERPT: The Bay Foundation will be one of the first non=profits to employ innovative technologies to explore underwater ecosystems and support conservation and restoration of our coastal resources.  Remotely operated underwater vehicles, once only available to agencies and universities, now allow everyone from children to scientist, the opportunity to experience and understand the ocean by capturing high-resolution images and videos of the seafloor.

DOLPHINS FEEDING IN THE SEA KELP - WATCHING FOR WHALES

Though not in earnest, I've been looking over the sea cliff to see what I can see.  In the last week I met a couple people who said they saw migrating whales in the Pacific near enough to shore.  So I'm inspired to keep looking.

I think maybe I saw a small black whale or two feeding in the kept beds.  I'm pretty sure I wasn't seeing a skin diver in a black wet suit because of the arch of back.  But to identify these would be impossible, just to say the black was black.

This morning - a small pod of dolphins - grey - and the cry of a single sea lion.
