The Birch Aquarium is officially known as a branch of the Institute of Oceanography at UCSD (University of California-San Diego) in La Jolla, CA. See http://aquarium.ucsd.edu/ for more information. It's an outstanding facility and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to visit and photograph it.
