Research Facilities

Our new marine science laboratory is about to be constructed through a grant received from The Ian Potter Foundation. Research scientists from universities and Government departments will assist our staff with detailed plans for the layout of the laboratory so that it serves its purpose for a wide range of user groups. The laboratory will be used by individual researchers, school groups, community groups and tertiary students and will be situated adjacent to the Marine Discovery Centre. It is anticipated that the laboratory will be completed by early 2010 and ready for use immediately afterwards.
