An expanded Open Ocean habitat features the Pacific’s deeper waters complete with schooling fish and the aquarium’s popular rescued Loggerhead Sea Turtle. A stunning Tropical Coral habitat that is more than four times the size of the previous habitat includes a step-in immersive viewing window. Tropical Mangrove roots “grow” out of the walls, inviting guests to explore this remarkable habitat. “'Living Seas' isn’t just something you look at — it’s something you step into,” said Megan Dickerson, director of exhibits. “You’ll hear the calls of marine life, crawl into an octopus’ hidden world and feel what it’s like to dive beneath the Scripps Pier. Every element is designed to engage your senses and spark curiosity, just like a Scripps scientist studying the life and wonders of the ocean.” "Living Seas," which has been under construction since August 2024, also includes new state-of-the-art pumps and cooling systems and upgrades to existing spaces. Digital projections and UV-responsive wallpaper adds to the immersive elements guests will be able to explore, including hidden features and an ability to seamlessly shift "Living Seas" from day to nighttime events, highlighting some of the exciting things that happen in the ocean after dark. The exhibition also spotlights the cutting edge research of Scripps Oceanography with direct connections to the work being done just down the hill from Birch Aquarium and around the world.
