We live on an ocean planet. Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface
and contain most of its ecosystems. This exhibit explores two marine ecosystems:
a tropical coral reef and a temperate rocky shore. Visitors can walk through
a rocky shore ecosystem and discover what eats what, view living models of these
two ecosystems, learn how humans impact marine ecosystems and what can be done
to preserve them, and investigate the behind-the-scenes work of museum scientists.
Also on display in the Museum are a giant squid, a life size model of the blue
whale, and a large marlin.
