  3. Ocean Lab Exhibition Objectives of the exhibition plan: To describe the Medon project in the context of other marine data collection methods To generate interest in, and engagement with, Marine Science To integrate Medon into existing exhibition strategy of the Aquarium To provide a focal point for educational programmes on marine science.

  4. Ocean Lab Exhibition Plan of action: Ocean Lab situated in the “Atlantic Ocean” Zone of the Aquarium. Exhibition covers about 50% of the lower level of the Zone. Ocean Lab incorporates: The public view of the Husbandry Lab including jelly & coral culture, water chemistry and live food production A “walk-through” view of the 2.5million litre Western Atlantic Exhibit A new tank beneath a glass floor replicating a research station “moon pool” Ocean Lab leads into the Atlantic Abyss exhibit, linked to the EU-funded HERMIONE Deep Sea programme.

  5. Ocean Lab Exhibition Interpretive journey: Introduction to science – data and modelling Comparison of methods: Lab Science Research Vessels ROV’s CPR/Towed Satellite and Data Buoys Commercial Diving Underwater Habitats Cabled Observatory

  6. Ocean Lab Exhibition Interpretive elements: Graphics Panels Video and animations Sound headsets (underwater sounds) Objects Diver models ROV CPR & Silks Lab Equipment Animals
