The exhibition contains images from Hub partners (and a few more) and is being curated by Mark Norman, Head of Science at Museum Victoria. Our aim is to reach out to the general public (especially school students) and raise their awareness of the beauty and fragility of Australia’s marine biodiversity. We also raise the need for cutting edge science and management to protect this environment.

There are 19 panels displayed on the walls as you walk up the ramp to the different levels of Questacon

(The Marine Biodiversity Hub is a collaborative partnership funded by the Commonwealth Environment Research Facilities (CERF) programme, an Australian Government initiative supporting world class, public good research. Its partners include the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute, University of Tasmania; CSIRO Wealth from Oceans National Flagship; Geoscience Australia; Australian Institute of Marine Science; and Museum Victoria. http://www.marinehub.org)
