In this very blue episode of Blue Dot, we feature one of the world's most innovative and visited public aquariums, the Monterey Bay Aquarium on world famous Cannery Row.

Host Dave Schlom is joined by James Covel. He served at the aquarium for over 30 years as Director of Guest Experience Training and Interpretation and gives us insights about the history of the aquarium and its amazing exhibits like the Kelp Forest, Open Sea, and the wild otters frolicking in the Great Tide Pool.

Then Dave is joined by April Ridlon, Director of Science at the aquarium to talk about how science underpins everything they do as one of the world's leaders in ocean conservation and education.
