Monterey Bay Aquarium 
The very proud granddaughter of Helen Schuttish, a charter member, is very proud of this California institution, dedicated to marine mammal and sea life sustainability. Started with the gift from The David and Lucille Packard Foundation -- of Hewlett-Packard fame -- the Monterey Bay Aquarium has perhaps set the standard for aquariums all over the world, both in its public outreach, research and development programs, and mesmerizing live theater-like displays of kelp forests, electrifying jellyfish, sea otter playground and other displays. Since one cannot escape the fact that landscape is inextricably connnected to our oceans via stormdrains, and protection of sea life is critical to the protection of human life itself, even if you never visit this magnificent aquarium, visit its website for best-of-the-web photography, hope and inspiration, and the latest wallet copy or Android app of Seafood Watch, a regularly updated guide on what seafood is safe to eat and buy.
