Marine Education Centre
The Marine Education Centre is where most of our education programmes are planned and take place. The centre has several exhibits, packed with information on marine ecosystems and biodiversity, including large exhibits on sea turtles, cetaceans, and whale sharks, all of which are found along Kenya’s coastline.
Each of the exhibits highlight the important work of our partners, with many of these organisations using the centre as their work base in Diani. All exhibits emphasise the conservation problems our oceans and marine life face, with special focus on plastic pollution and industrial fishing.
