Kayaking on the Big River in Mendocino California

The Big River estuary in Mendocino Headlands State Park is a tidal river which goes under Highway 1 to flow out into the ocean at a rocky beach with lots of sand. The first eight miles of river are tidal, so you'll want to leave at low tide to have the incoming high tide help carry you upriver. The upriver portion goes through the Redwood forest. About a half mile up the river there are some islands to paddle around. If you're lucky, you'll see a river otter and birds like herons and cormorants (we did!).

Monterey Bay Aquarium - Into the Deep Exhibit (4K)

Drove down to the Monterey Bay Aquarium: https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/ For the member preview of the new "Into the Deep" exhibit opening April 9, 2022: https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/visit/exhibits/into-the-deep On display are many creatures from thousands of feet/hundreds of meters under the water. Many of these have never been displayed before. Some have only been seen alive by a handful of researchers. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) pioneered the techniques required to bring these creatures safely to the surface to be seen by all. https://www.mbari.org/ You even get to pet a Giant Deep-Sea Isopod from the bottom of the ocean! If you're a member, you get to skip the usual long line to get it in: https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/join-give/become-a-member ------------------- Link to my Etsy Store: https://betacygnidesigns.etsy.com/ --------------------- End Screen Video Acknowledgement: Cosmic Reef Video produced by NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). https://hubblesite.org/contents/media/videos/2020/16/1277-Video
