SCIENCE SATURDAY:OPALIZATION
This is a really simple process. Opalization occurs when silica-rich water gets into cavities. These cavities can simply be holes in rocks or could be pores in bones or wood. Then the water evaporates and leaves behind the silica minerals. Repeatedly. Voila! Opalization.

🦦 Name our newest resident sea otter!
We’re otterly excited to announce that, in the coming weeks, we’ll welcome a brand new resident sea otter to the Aquarium’s raft! 
Our newest otter was found stranded as a pup near San Luis Obispo, 100 miles south of Monterey. After being deemed unreleasable by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, she’s spent the past year behind the scenes getting used to her new home at Monterey Bay Aquarium. 
Our team is busy preparing for her to join Ruby, Ivy, and Selka on exhibit. But there’s just one thing missing—she still needs a name! 
Teaching a resident otter to recognize her own name is an important part of her training, so we narrowed it down to three unique choices:
💙Hazel 💙Opal 💙Quinn
Starting this Wednesday, March 26 at 12 p.m. PST, check out our socials for a link to the poll. You’ll have 24 hours to vote and help name our new exhibit otter.
We can’t wait for you to meet her!
