Birch Aquarium at Scripps

More than just an aquarium, it is the public research center of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, one of the most important in the world in this field. The museum traces its scientific discoveries related to the environment, the earth and the ocean. As its name suggests, the place is also home to species: more than 5,000 - among them sharks and superb seahorses - each one distributed in about 60 habitats. An interesting visit.
