One of my main interests other than architecture is oceanography. I was lucky to work on a project remodel for the Monterey Bay Aquarium in my past architecture firm. The place is magnificent. EHDD designed it and its doors opened in 1984. I was fortunate to work with Chuck Davis, the man behind the design. This experience only exacerbated my interest in ocean science and conservation so I try to read as much as I can and when one of these events turns up, I try to go. There is always something happening in Monterey that is related to these issues. There are a great number of ocean minded institutions: CSU Monterey Bay, Hopkins Marine Station, Monterey Institute of International Studies, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, Naval Postgraduate School, Stanford University, UC Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay Aquarium and Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute!
So, if you are interested and are in the area, check this event out...I'll try to keep up with them and post what I come up with.
