US-SAN PEDRO BAY
Seagulls fly around a fishing boat looking for food at the Port of Los Angeles during the launch voyage of the Aquarium of the Pacific?s new "Urban Ocean" cruise, May 27, 2010 in San Pedro Bay off the coast of Los Angeles and Long Beach, California. The cruise gives passengers the chance to see the intensive and varied human uses of one of the most urbanized coastlines in the world while highlighting how marine wildlife manages to exist and occasionally even to thrive in this heavily urbanized marine - industrial complex. This portion of the Pacific Ocean?s coast, centered around the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, is utilized for such diverse purposes as shipping, recreation, tourism, fishing and offshore oil drilling while also serving as home to a wastewater disposal facility, a federal prison, and even a sea-based spacecraft launch service, all of which can be seen during the two-hour cruise.
