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. Educational programs are available for students from Kindergarten to Year 12. The Marine Discovery Centre's educational programs are designed to be as hands on as possible and are aligned to the Tasmanian and National Curriculum. To find out more about our programs, please click on the appropriate link in the left hand navigation pane. The Marine Discovery Centre is open to members of the public from 2.30-4pm on Wednesday afternoons during school term time. Entry is by donation, and volunteers are on hand to answer questions. Please contact Centre staff for further information. The Marine Discovery Centre is located on Jetty Road, Woodbridge, approx 40 minutes drive south of Hobart.
