The Outer Bay exhibit is a mysterious, mesmerizing world where life looms large.

There's no hiding place...and these open-ocean animals don't need one. Their colors blend with the blue; sleek streamlined shapes let them speed.

The stunning one-million-gallon exhibit is home to the largest community of open-ocean animals to be found in any aquarium. Giant bluefin tuna power their way through the water. Hammerhead sharks circle inches away.

Tune in: We're featuring live audio of our Outer Bay feeding program at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

The Aquarium Tags and Releases its Fifth White Shark

The Aquarium Tags and Releases its Fifth White Shark

A young female white shark on exhibit since August 26 was tagged and returned to the wild shortly after sunrise November 4. It marks the fifth time that the Aquarium has exhibited a white shark and returned it to the wild. The shark was healthy and feeding at the time of release, and an electronic data tag will track its movements.
