EN: Brainy, beautiful, and built for surprise! The giant Pacific octopus uses camouflage, jet propulsion, and eight gripping arms to hunt with skill. These seafood connoisseurs need a healthy ocean–and so do we!

Choosing sustainable seafood protects the ocean and people who depend on it.

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.

There’s wonder in ocean life and caring for it helps us all. Our actions have ripple effects for the food web all the way across the ocean and beyond!

On this special day, we’re celebrating the jellies you can see on exhibit here at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Which one is your favorite? 💙

Pacific leatherback sea turtles migrate across the Pacific Ocean all the way from Indonesia to feed on our local sea nettles.

💙 “I felt very loved and celebrated. I felt like my only job was to receive the joy that was being poured over me and that happens so rarely in education. Thank you!!”
