The ocean remains one of the least explored environments on Earth. Though much is left to be understood about the ocean, its processes, and inhabitants, the groundbreaking work of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) has been revealing new insights and discoveries since 1987. From discovering new species of deep-sea jellyfish to revealing the intricate connections between fish migration and the carbon cycle, MBARI’s contributions have been invaluable in advancing marine science and engineering to understand our changing ocean.
