Mission Statement: Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is an educational, recreational, and research facility devoted to encouraging active public participation to promote knowledge and conservation of the marine life of southern California.
Celebrating more than 60 years of marine education, the Aquarium is a facility of the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks and is located on the shore at Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro between Point Fermin and the Port of Los Angeles. The tidepools of the Point Fermin Marine Life Refuge, a salt marsh, sandy beaches and fossil rich cliffs are all within walking distance from the Aquarium.

We have recently opened two new halls for visitors. A hands on Exploration Center which interprets the seashore habitats of the Cabrillo Beach Coastal Park, and the Aquatic Nursery where we raise baby animals and young scientists through research projects and exhibits on aquaculture and animal husbandry. The Virginia Reid Moore Marine Research Library is expected to open in the summer of 2005.

CMA is a facility of the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks. We serve visitors from the Greater LA area and beyond.
