The name change was announced to us divers on 10/2.
I'm quoting here:
The decision to make [THE AQUARIUM OF THE PACIFIC] the name and not
including Long Beach in the title is to help people understand that we are
an independent non-profit organization and not part of the City of Long
Beach. End of quote
This, of course, is to help getting more funding from people and organizations who up to now thought the city of Long Beach is taking care of the Aq.
