Monterey Bay Aquarium
The Monterey Bay Aquarium contains many habitats that support a wide diversity of marine life. ... The geology of the Monterey Bay has large rocks for the coral to grow on and to create a dark environment for bottom dwelling fish and rock fishes. Some of these fish reside for only a short time in the Monterey Bay, or only on occasion, such as the White Sea bass, while others can be found in the bay year-round. Others can also be found in the San Francisco Bay, such as the Striped Bass, Salmon, Leopard Shark, Seven-gill Shark, and Halibut. ... The third exhibit that I visited is The Outer Bay. In this exhibit, I observed several environmental conditions in the outer bay. The outer bay is all water; there are no reefs, no beaches. The animals that live in the outer bay don’t have homes like those that live closer to shore. ... The animals in the out bay are larger fish. ... Furthermore, phytoplanktons such as diatoms are tiny drifters in the outer bay.
