A Monterey Bay Aquarium Music Video..."Aquarium Things"
To the Monterey Bay Aquarium - thank you for letting us share this fun video and introduction:

Enjoy this delightful Monterey Bay Aquarium video inspired by the song “My Favorite Things.” This parody version was written by Aquarium staff and sung by Hartnell College’s choir. It’s an ode to some choice sights we recall to bring us joy while the Aquarium remains closed due to the pandemic: “Sardines and anchovies — oodles and oodles… Octopus poop that looks like one long noodle” (yes, this is true!).

As part of the Aquarium’s Student Ocean Stewards program, we've worked with Hartnell and other local colleges to provide free access to students. The program helps ensure people of all income levels can access the Aquarium. While the program is currently on pause, this project gave us the opportunity to engage with students in a new and fun way.

Ca Dept of Public Health Announces Update to Blue Print for a Safer Economy
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) today announced that 2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered to Californians in some of the state’s hardest-hit communities, increasing immunity where the state's transmission rates and disease burden have been the highest during the pandemic. With this equity metric met, and because vaccines slow the spread of disease and serious illness, the previously announced update to the Blueprint for a Safer Economy to account for progress with vaccine administration goes into effect. Next week Monterey County is expected to move from Purple to Red based on current projections. Read the full news release


In addition, here's a FACT SHEET:
