Explosion 1: MDC NEWS!

Tasmanian blenny and big-bellied seahorse

Based on the shores of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel at Woodbridge in southeast Tasmania, the Marine Discovery Centre challenges students of all ages to learn about, discover and care for the marine environment through diverse shore and sea based programs.

The Marine Discovery Centre is a part of Woodbridge School. Built over the water, the Centre is ideally located to help Tasmanian students discover and learn about their marine environment. The Centre houses fully equipped teaching areas, an aquarium room, marine pond and touch tanks, as well as displays of marine life, human impacts and fishing technology. The Centre has its own research vessel, the Penghana, and a marine farming lease.
