Aquarium of the bay, San Francisco Bay Ca.

The Bay and the Animals Who Call it Home
We focus on water, beginning at the heart—the very depths—of San Francisco Bay. Our marine nature center boasts 300 feet of crystal clear acrylic tunnels holding 700,000 gallons of carefully maintained Bay water that sustains approximately 20,000 animals who live in the Bay and nearby waters, from octopuses to eight-foot sevengill sharks. Guests are also treated to mesmerizing walls of jellies and a chance to have up close and personal encounters with leopard sharks, bat rays, skates, and other “splash zone” animals.

Life-changing Impact
Over the course of our nearly 20-year history, nearly seven million guests, including more than 100,000 local K-12 students, have visited the Aquarium. By connecting our guests with native marine animals in an engaging and meaningful manner, we nurture transformative, emotional connections that inspire conservation advocacy. Because we reach over 600,000 people a year, these connections have high impact. We extend our reach even further through our “Conservation Impact Programs,” working together with bay.org’s five divisions and other partner organizations.
