Just off the coast of Monterey Bay is an undersea canyon that ranks among the largest in the world. It supports life from tiny krill to baleen whales who feed on them. The bay is also home to the Humboldt squid, mola mola, seals, orcas -- and giant kelp forests full of sea slugs, sea urchins, octopus, melibe, and sea otters. At the curve of the bay is the Elkhorn Slough, a seasonal estuary rich in birds and marine life. Cannery Row used to be located here at a time when sardines, salmon and halibut were historically overfished, but the waters around Monterey Bay are now a protected marine sanctuary.
