Description:
Come and see the Marine Biodiversity Hub’s exhibition of images at Questacon in Canberra from 21 May to 31 August to celebrate the International Year of Biodiversity.
The exhibition contains images from Marine Biodiversity Hub partners (and a few more) and is 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. The exhibition of photographs is scheduled to open on Friday 21 May (the day before International Day for Biological Diversity on the 22 May).
(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. www.marinehub.org)
