New internship opportunities are now open at Monterey Bay Aquarium!⁠

They are recruiting motivated students and early-career scientists for paid kelp forest internships focused on research, scientific diving, and real-world conservation. ⁠
⁠
Interns will support efforts to understand and restore California’s kelp forests through hands-on lab work, field surveys, and scuba-based research along the Monterey Peninsula.⁠
⁠
Applications close February 7, 2026. Learn more and apply through the link in our bio.⁠

The songbirds of our Coastal Canary Project are Reef Check’s small but tough temperature loggers. The loggers monitor temperature fluctuations every ten minutes.⁠
⁠
Each one is fixed with a stainless steel bolt into the rocky reef about 12 m (40 ft) deep. The sensors tough out 12-month deployments before they’re retrieved and swapped out with fresh units to continue the mission.⁠
⁠
Staff and volunteers support this effort, so if you become a Reef Check diver, you may be able to participate in this project!⁠
⁠
Learn more about diving requirements on our website.⁠
