MBARI was founded in 1987 by engineer David Packard. Among his many accomplishments, David Packard (along with William Hewlett) started the Hewlett-Packard Company, a maker of computers and electronic equipment. After helping his daughters, Julie Packard and Nancy Burnett, develop the Monterey Bay Aquarium in 1984, David Packard established MBARI as a private, not-for-profit oceanographic research center, with offices and laboratories in Pacific Grove, on the Monterey Peninsula.
