Kelp Forest

June 14th

The Usenix Conference has a reception on the second evening. This year it was at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, built on the old Cannery Row. The aquarium has expanded somewhat since my last visit, with a new, very large tank for bigger fish.

Looking north east across Monterey Bay with the golden rays of the sun illuminating areas such as Sand City.

Exhibits at the Monterey Bay Aquarium - Usenix reception

This fish is part of an exhibit simulating a stream with a waterfall. No idea what sort of fish this is.
