Summer Whale Watch
2017-08-20 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, 3720 Stephen M. White Drive, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
Join CMA on a search for great whales, such as blue, fin, humpback and minke whales, that visit our coast during the summer.
Some of the largest whales in the world feed along our nutrient-rich coastline this time of year. CMA wildlife experts will join you on this adventure to catch a glimpse of these magnificent leviathans of the deep.
One of these great whales is the largest of all whales in the world, the endangered blue whale. Researchers believe there are only about 10,000 blue whales left in all the world’s oceans, but a thriving population of 2,000 of them can be seen along the California coast during the summer feeding on massive amounts of krill, small shrimp-like organisms.
The waters between Los Angeles and Catalina have become a regular stop for some of these feeding blue whales as they migrate to breeding grounds off of Costa Rica during the winter.
Guests will board the 90-foot yacht, Spirit, in San Pedro and head out to sea in search of whales and other marine life including many species of dolphins and seabirds.
Reservations are required. Please call (310) 548-7562.

Catina and Otmaro joined forces in 2015 to release the album Catina DeLuna and Lado B Brazilian Project which has caught the attention of music critics and fans internationally and catapulted them to appear live in countless radio interviews and publications such as a feature in the current edition of Rolling Stone Magazine Brazil, The Absolute Sound Magazine, NPR Radio, TNT television and a spot on Planeta Brasil Television along with other outlets. The record has now received an official Grammy nomination for the 2016 Grammys in the category of Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals.

Meet the Grunion
2017-07-24 20:00 | Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, 3720 Stephen M. White Drive, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
From March through July, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium presents special evening programs to introduce you to the unique and elusive grunion.
At times the beach may look as if it is covered in a blanket of silver as the wriggling fish arrive to mate. The females burrow into the sand to lay eggs while the males wrap around them in order to fertilize the eggs. Then both males and females catch the next wave back out to sea. The fertilized eggs incubate for about nine days in the sand before the tumbling action of the waves from the next series of high tides cause them to hatch as they are carried back out to sea.
The Aquarium opens at 8 p.m. Guests must arrive before 9pm to participate in the full program in the auditorium, followed by a guided observation. Dress warmly and bring a flashlight to spot grunion at the beach. Program admission is $5 for adults and $1 children/seniors/students with I.D. Buy tickets at the door or pre-purchase your tickets at Meet the Grunion to guarantee admission. Processing fees apply.
