Take a photo, notice its beauty – you can even get involved directly in the project by contacting the museum.

Jellies have always been a great mystery of the underwater wildlife. MBARI Scientists are, however, determined to protect these fascinating species. If you spot a jelly and film it, you can get featured thanks to the Jellywatch project!

Most monarch butterflies can migrate as far as from Canada to Mexico! Some of the most beautiful butterfly species known to man is endangered, though – which is why we need to cherish them. The Journey North project helps protect them and you can contribute too!

Did you know that every time you do your laundry, each item of clothing made from synthetic fabric releases nearly 2,000 plastic microfibers?
