If you are planning to visit the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, you may also wish to spend time in the surrounding coastal habitats found at Cabrillo Beach Coastal Park. See the enclosed map of habitat areas surrounding the aquarium. We hope that you can find time to explore one or more of these areas during your visit. Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is located in southern California and displays local marine life found from Point Conception to the Mexican border. Within the aquarium there are 35 different aquaria, interactive exhibits and a tidepool touch tank.
Habitats have specific physical features.
Plants and animals in each of the habitats survive using a variety of adaptations. Humans have an impact on the marine environments and the organisms that live there as they explore the ocean, use its resources, and bring about changes to its habitats. This page was last updated on August 16, 2001.
