The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is a leading non-profit oceanographic research center located in Moss Landing, California. Founded in 1987 by David Packard, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard, MBARI is dedicated to advancing marine science and technology through innovative research and the development of cutting-edge tools and methods for exploring the deep sea. The institute is renowned for its pioneering work in underwater robotics, including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), which have greatly expanded our understanding of the ocean’s depths. MBARI’s research focuses on a wide range of topics, including marine biology, geology, chemistry, and climate change, with a particular emphasis on the unique ecosystems of Monterey Bay and the broader Pacific Ocean. The institute collaborates closely with the Monterey Bay Aquarium and other research organizations to share findings and contribute to global ocean conservation efforts.
