Open Sea Exhibit Cam

A Window on the Open Ocean

The Open Sea Cam offers a real-time view into one of the largest exhibits at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where a vast blue water column stretches as far as the eye can see. The immersive tank is designed to mimic the structureless expanse of the pelagic zone, far from any reef or shore.

A Diverse Community in Motion

This live webcam frames one of the most diverse communities of open-ocean animals found in any aquarium. Watch Pacific bluefin tuna, hammerhead sharks, and silvery schools of sardines share the water with green sea turtles and pelagic stingrays, all in constant motion.

Conservation Through Connection

The Open Sea exhibit showcases creatures rarely seen up close, drawing visitors into a world that few ever witness firsthand. Through this stream the aquarium shares its mission to inspire lasting care for the ocean and the animals of the wide-open Pacific.
