Monterey Bay Aquarium’s new (and 2nd in 41 years) CEO Jenny Gray was working on a master’s in #transportation engineering when she first visited MBA in 1989. She has a doctorate in #ethics, focused on issues involving #wildlife
From interview by Paul Rogers, published 6/6/26:
What can be improved upon at the Monterey Bay Aquarium? "They are world leaders here for a good reason. They’re incredible. There won’t be Earth-shattering changes. Nothing’s broken here. In fact, the exact opposite.”
The major challenge facing the world’s #oceans right now? “The big threats are #pollution — whether that’s #plastic or other pollution — and #ClimateChange, and over-#exploitation of the #ocean itself.”
As a charter member who had to drop membership as prices climbed, we also appreciated his question about admission cost. https://www.mercurynews.com/2026/06/06/new-leader-takes-the-helm-at-the-monterey-bay-aquarium/?share=lw6tehdtor6tt2i6aatb
