To celebrate our July story on Monterey Bay's ecological renaissance, we've partnered with the Monterey Bay Aquarium to roll out a week of trivia, photos (like most people, we just can't get enough of those otters), and tips on protecting our oceans.

In the past 66 years, California’s Monterey Bay has gone from toxic soup to waters capable of supporting sea otters, whales, and a thriving kelp forest. In our July issue, Sunset editor-at-large, Peter Fish, covered the bay’s polluted past, its surprisingly pristine present, and how what we’re learning there might just save our oceans.

To celebrate the renaissance, we’ve partnered with the fabulous Monterey Bay Aquarium to roll out Monterey Bay Week, five days of trivia, photos (like most people, we just can’t get enough of those otters), and tips on protecting our oceans, from choosing sustainable seafood to buying plastic-free beach toys.
