MARINE DISCOVERY CENTRE HASTINGS POINT

In the 1960s, Ted Brambleby began collecting specimens for the Marine Discovery Centre, which has grown to become one of the largest independent collections in Australia. The passionate environmentalist first shared his displays from the boot of his car, driving coastal roads and stopping to educate beachgoers, scuba divers, snorkellers and like-minded ocean lovers along the way... We want to inspire people to experience nature. In turn they are encouraged to look at their individual footprints and become empowered to take responsibility for protecting our oceans, beaches, rock pools, creeks, rivers and our unique country, now and into the future... The Marine Discovery Centre is designed to inspire and educate people of all ages. It helps visitors to understand and care for the aquatic environment, its inhabitants and vital eco-systems and learn about the unprecedented challenges of climate change, marine litter and plastic waste, pollutants and fishing.
