We could discover even more Kelp Forest in the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where California Giant Kelp was grown live for the first time in the world. In this amazing tank you can explore life down in a Kelp Forest and once a day a diver is feeding the fish while talking to the audience outside the tank.
Further we were fascinated by the beauty and variety of Jellyfish - The Jellies Experience.
“The Monterey Bay Aquarium has been the first in the world to exhibit jellyfish, which were traditionally impossible to cultivate. Marine biologist and ecologist Dr. Wulf Greve had come up with the concept of the "Planktonkreisel" for his own research on Pleurobrachia Pileus in 1968 at the Biologische Anstalt Helgoland. Building on this work, the Monterey Bay Aquarium was the first to ever add jellyfish to their exhibit in the early 90s.”
