Featuring NOAA's Science on a Sphere®
Travel across the planet in the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Science on a Sphere® and learn about pressing issues that affect our ocean.
The Aquarium’s Ocean Science Center uses a Science on a Sphere® from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to explore our planet and tell stories about ocean phenomena and their impacts. The Ocean Science Center features daily shows on issues like sea level rise, maritime trade, and conservation.

Ocean in Motion
Learn how ocean health is connected to human health from a global perspective in this show that features a dynamic combination of music, video, narration, and data.
The ocean is always in motion and supports life all over the planet, from the microscopic animals in the ocean called zooplankton to the billions of people around the world who rely on seafood as a major source of protein day in and day out. Ocean in Motion visually communicates the links between algal blooms, fish migrations, and human activity to tell a compelling story about our dependence on the ocean. Ocean in Motion Interactive
Rising Sea
Scientists estimate sea levels could rise more than three feet by the end of this century.
In California, that would mean the flooding of San Francisco International Airport, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and much of the commercial and residential property along the coast. See firsthand how sea level rise will affect people locally and across the globe.
A Working Waterfront: Seaports of San Pedro Bay
The seaports of San Pedro Bay, which are the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, represent the nation’s first- and the world’s fifth-busiest container port complex.
Nearly half of all the manufactured goods that enter and leave the United States pass through this bay. Watch as this global trade center unfolds across the planet.
