The UC Climate Stewards Program at the Aquarium of the Pacific is building climate resilience for our ocean and our communities. This unique course transforms passionate individuals into certified Climate Stewards, connecting them with a vibrant statewide network committed to building resilience in the face of climate change. This course is possible thanks to full scholarships generously provided through a donation from Dr. Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, the program explores the real-world impacts of climate change on local ecosystems such as kelp forests, wetlands, beaches, and watersheds. Participants gain exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the Aquarium’s cutting-edge conservation initiatives while receiving hands-on training in the latest climate science and sustainability strategies.

Organization Description: Founded in June 1998, the Aquarium of the Pacific is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Aquarium’s mission is to instill a sense of wonder, respect, and stewardship for the Pacific Ocean, its inhabitants, and ecosystems. Our vision is to foster an inclusive community that works together to create our sustainable future. The Aquarium of the Pacific is Southern California’s largest aquarium. It displays about 12,000 animals and more than 100 exhibits that celebrate the planet’s largest and most diverse body of water, the Pacific Ocean. Its galleries represent the frigid waters of the Northern Pacific, the temperate Southern California/Baja region, and the warm coral reefs and lagoons of the Tropical Pacific.
