Arthur C. Clarke
We are all part of one connected ocean. With Plymouth Sound as one of the most studied and significant stretches of water in the world, and ground breaking marine research taking place in the city that directly combats climate change and impacts global policy, Planet Ocean looks at how we can study, use and take inspiration from familiar waters to play a part in a global movement to safeguard the sea.
Find out more about plankton, pollution, people and planet as we share facts, key findings, objects and stories; the exhibition aims to inspire hope in the face of the climate crisis and empower everyone who visits to become ocean advocates.
Specimens, objects and artworks on display are drawn from the natural history, art and social history collections at The Box. The exhibition is supported by a range of partners including the Marine Biological Association, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, University of Plymouth and South West-based ocean conservation organisations.
