Located on Steam’s Wharf, the Center is dominated by a lifesize grey whale and her baby. Four aquariums, each depicting various underwater habitats around the Channel Islands and Santa Barbara coast, hold a variety of fish, Crustacea, and plant life. The Channel Islands Collection, a series of spectacular photographs taken by local photographer Bob Evans, lines the walls of the building. Visitors can learn about the annual migration of the grey whale and hear the recorded calls of various sea birds. The Nature Conservancy is located right next to the Center. It holds exhibits on Santa Cruz Island. Manager Gary Robinson stressed the fact that along with public en­ joyment, the Center’s main purpose is to make the public more aware of the rich environment of sea life that exists off the coast. The latest addition to Steam’s Wharf, the Sea Center, Gerard Heredia and his son Isaac and daughter Felicia enjoy the aquarium at the center, that depicts a reef habitat. opened its doors for the first time last Saturday, after five years of preparation.
