Starting in January, the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla will begin offering visitors a chance to see bioluminescense, bioflorescence, and underwater acoustics as part of their monthly ‘Oceans at Night’ program. For one night on a select Thursday of each month, the aquarium will welcome visitors ages 21+ into their exhibits after hours to chat with scientists, play games, and enjoy glow-in-the-dark cocktails and tasty small bites. “We’re really excited to get to share the aquarium when people aren’t normally here,” said Cari Paulenich, Program Manager of Public Engagement for the Birch Aquarium. “People kind of have this idea that the fish go to sleep at night. So we thought, how cool to be able to share what happens in the evening when it gets dark. That really was our inspiration.” MORE: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/outreach/earth8/birch-aquarium-launches-monthly-oceans-at-night-event/509-c19927a6-943c-46cb-814b-63c7e358f58f
