Marine Nexus is a visitor centre that invites tourists and students on an emotional odyssey through the intricacies of our relationship with the sea. It focuses on recognising the sea's vulnerability to human activities and transcends traditional visitor centres by acting like a living, breathing space designed to evoke emotions and educate about local ocean conservation issues, including oil spills, land reclamation, marine pollution, and plastic waste. Responsible practices are promoted through tours, exhibits, and workshops to minimise damage to marine life. A cafe and rest stop provide a space for reflection, fostering a sense of responsibility and empathy.
