QM aquainst a talent scout for 'fish stars'
Bob Sayler and Matt Byrne manage the Queen Mary Museum of the Sea tidepool display by sourcing real sea life from Ensenada to Palos Verdes. They legally collect specimens with permits, replenish the pool, and encourage visitor interaction while maintaining water quality. The pair dive weekly, keeping the exhibit stocked with endangered species when allowed.
