The REEF at UCSB UCSB's interactive teaching aquarium 🦞
Stop by for Open Door Hours Fridays 3-5 and Saturdays 11-2 🐟

At the REEF we are inspired by the Channel Islands, which are the islands located right off of UCSB’s coast! Our Channel is a special part of Our Maritime Community as the Channel Islands hold 281 endemic species, which means that they can’t be found anywhere else in the world. The Chumash people and their story are strongly linked with the island and its resources, such as the pictured black abalone. What is your favorite way to explore Our Channel?
