We are a not-for-profit organisation committed to environmental action and providing the public with a place to have fun and learn about the sea.

We will never sell our souls to big corporations (like the Science Museum did when they allowed Shell to sponsor their climate change exhibit).

Furthermore, we will also never charge an entry fee - but we might go bankrupt. And we’d really rather not!

So whilst we don’t want your money - we do unfortunately need it to survive!
