Good news for the Monterey Aquarium. That’s because Monterey County health officials now expect to move to the red tier in the coming weeks, which would allow the aquarium to open indoors with limited capacity.
When the aquarium does reopen, it plans to bring back members and donors first and then allow for general admission later in May. Specific dates have not yet been released.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the aquarium has had to lay off about 240 staff members, about 40% of the pre-pandemic workforce.
