MBARI (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) | MBARI is advancing marine science and engineering to understand our changing ocean @MBARIvideo | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
MBARI was founded on May 4th, 1987, by David Packard. Mr. Packard wanted to establish a new type of oceanographic institution—one where scientists and engineers worked side-by-side—because he believed the ocean was the most important frontier we have left.
For over three decades now, MBARI has been committed to developing new technologies and approaches to overcome the barriers that have historically limited our ability to access the sea. Technological innovation taking place here at MBARI is helping to transform the field of oceanography, making it possible to explore and understand our ocean--which covers more than 70 percent of our planet.
Today, our ocean faces many existential threats—climate change, excessive resource extraction, and pollution, to name a few. At the same time, the vast majority of the global ocean remains unexplored. This puts us in a race to document, understand, and communicate the consequences of known impacts on the sea, while simultaneously devising tools to foster a new era of ocean exploration and discovery.
As MBARI moves into its fourth decade, we remain committed to our core founding principles: broadly sharing our data and technology, using our unique science and engineering partnership to explore and understand the ocean from atoms to ecosystems, and educating the public about the ocean’s importance in our daily lives. We also embrace the need to apply our expertise toward addressing the pressing global challenges that have emerged since our founding: combating climate change and advancing sustainable marine resource management. MBARI is working toward a future where the breathtaking majesty of our ocean is fully visible, a future where our home-grown technology is scaled globally to monitor and predict ecosystem changes, and a future where the most important frontier we have left is healthy and resilient.
