Life in a Drop of Seawater
Have you ever wondered what’s in a drop of ocean or Bay water? Join Mary Miller, environment program director at the Exploratorium, in conversation with UC Santa Cruz ocean scientist Anna McGaraghan as she explores miniature marine ecosystems using a powerful robot microscope. 

Return of the Harbor Porpoise to San Francisco Bay
Harbor porpoises have returned after a 65 year absence! This music video, shot and performed by Exploratorium's own Lisa Strong, follows California Executive Director of the National Wildlife Federation Beth Pratt in costume as she travels around San Francisco celebrating the return of the porpoise.

Ocean Motion 
Did you know that special radar instruments track and record ocean and Bay currents? Come join a chat between Exploratorium environment program director Mary Miller and Bodega Marine Lab oceanographer John Largier about ocean motion and how the Pacific Ocean connects to San Francisco Bay.

Ocean Robots to the Rescue
What happens when you cross a sailboat with a drone? You get an ocean-going robot that can safely explore distant and sometimes dangerous oceans and solve mysteries that humans alone haven’t cracked. Exploratorium’s Mary Miller will be talking with Sebastien de Halleux, COO of Saildrone about some of the missions and mysteries that these nimble machines have undertaken and explored. Saildrone makes ocean drones that sail through the Golden Gate to embark on their scientific journeys.
