Monterey Bay Web Cam

Live Web Cam: 24 hours a day

Our Monterey Bay cam offers a peek from the Aquarium's
ocean-view decks.

From this vantage point, you can identify a number of the birds and sea mammals that find refuge here. Look for black cormorants perched on a rock, perhaps stretching their wings to dry. Watch the water's surface; you might see a harbor seal poke its head out of the water, or a sea otter wrapped in kelp.

Monterey Bay is part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, a federally protected marine area offshore of California's central coast. This safe haven is home to a rich variety of fishes, plants, marine mammals and birds. Marine Protected Areas are now being created in northern and southern California to preserve prime undersea habitat, allowing marine wildlife to recover and thrive.
