""She immediately emailed me when she heard we had an ocean sunfish (mola) in our Open Sea exhibit this week," Packard shared."

Gray launched targeted campaigns at Zoos Victoria to convert awareness into measurable change. A campaign titled "When Balloons Fly, Seabirds Die" highlighted balloon clips recovered from dead seabirds' stomachs, shifted public behavior, and contributed to a statewide ban on balloon releases in Victoria. Three years after the campaign began, balloon-related litter on one major coastline dropped by 63%. Monterey Bay Aquarium plans to prioritize education and advocacy, advance science-based solutions, and mobilize audiences through advocacy programs and partnerships, including collaboration with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Gray demonstrates strong public-campaign experience and a clear passion for animals; a wombat is a current favorite. Monterey Bay Aquarium is a financial sponsor of KQED.
