Our Mission
The mission of the Birch Aquarium at Scripps is:
to provide ocean science education
to interpret Scripps research
to promote ocean conservation
We provide ocean science education through creative exhibits, programs, and activities designed to help people use critical thinking, and to make science relevant to their daily lives.
We interpret Scripps Institution of Oceanography research, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of the science used to study Earth, and inspiring public support of scientific endeavors.
We promote conservation through education and research, believing that with increased understanding of the ocean, people will respect and protect the marine environment.
