Today, the California coast we cherish and the delicate ocean ecosystems just beyond it face a renewed threat from offshore drilling. We oppose the Trump Administration’s 5-year oil and gas leasing program and will continue to defend our coastline, wildlife, economy, and health from this threat.

For over 30 years, the Seattle Aquarium has led in sea otter research, contributed to recovery efforts and cared for northern sea otters who are unable to live in the wild.
Today is a big day as we welcome Ruby—the first southern sea otter in our care. ✨🦦

But what is COP30? It is a yearly summit where countries come together to talk about climate change. And today, the ocean is on the agenda. In the absence of U.S. representation, individual states like California, as well as U.S.-based organizations working on climate change, are taking a stand.

The ocean doesn't just influence climate—it IS climate. Yet it's often left out of the conversation.
Today at COP30, that's changing. Monterey Bay Aquarium joined the Belem Ocean Declaration commitment: "Let 2025 be remembered as the year the world united land and sea to protect all life on Earth."
