  • Seadragons & Seahorses to Open May 17 at Birch Aquarium
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***Photos Available Here*** Media Contact: Caitlin Scully [email protected] (o)858.534.5037 Seadragons & Seahorses to Open May 17 at Birch Aquarium The aquarium’s newest exhibition will feature one of the largest seadragon habitats in the world. La Jolla, California, Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego will open Seadragons & Seahorses, a new permanent exhibition that celebrates the care and conservation of these unique creatures. Seadragons & Seahorses is the largest indoor aquarium addition since the aquarium’s opening in 1992 and will be home to Weedy and Leafy Seadragons, as well as several species of seahorses and pipefish. The centerpiece of the exhibition will be one of the largest seadragon habitats in the world. The 18-foot- wide, 9-foot-tall exhibit will hold 5,375 gallons of water — that’s equivalent to 70 bathtubs! More than being a stunning display, the habitat has been designed to create an ideal environment to breed seadragons. Birch Aquarium hopes to be the first aquarium to successfully breed Leafy Seadragons in captivity. “People love ocean animals, especially seadragons and seahorses. We invite our guests to draw closer to these wondrous fish, to appreciate their amazing qualities and their value as part of our natural world,” said Nan Renner, the aquarium’s senior director of learning design and innovation. Seadragons & Seahorses will immerse aquarium guests into the underwater lives of seahorses and seadragons, while giving a peek into the work Birch Aquarium’s renowned Husbandry Team is doing to ensure that these species survive into the future.

    CAT 124 Practicum, design internship at Scripps Institute of Oceanography Fall 2016 Instructor: Brett Stalbaum, Associate Teaching Professor, Department of Visual Arts 2-5pm, Birch Aquarium at Scripps Oceanographic Institute, Room TBA Office hours: Stalbaum available Wed morning, 9-AM to 11AM, Peet’s Coffee RIMAC Course Description This practicum is modeled on a design firm, serving a client. The kind of design and client it treats are both very special. The client is the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, which is the public and educational interface/wing of the venerable Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which as you may know is the founding institution of UCSD. (SIO is both part of UCSD, and existed a long time before UCSD.) The kind of design our client is interested in is explicitly Speculative Design; in short, an experimental design methodology imagining the near future that is grounded in the design traditions of iterative critique, prototyping, playing with new technology, theoretical explication of the results as performed by interdisciplinary groups of designers who possess the historical understandings, theoretical acumen, practical skills and diverse experiences to be in a position to both make proposals and build prototypes. In this class, we will be turning our intellect, skills and personal experience toward a design brief given to us by the Birch Aquarium, relating to the kinds of sensors utilized in Oceanography. The experience should be especially valuable for majors in Earth Sciences, Marine Biology, Engineering, Computer
