Marine Public Education Program
more information...
Seals are available for viewing throughout the year.
Since 1988 the Ocean Sciences Centre has organized and played a
continuous role in public awareness in marine sciences through its
Marine Public Education Program. Each summer we invite visitors of
all ages to our outside touch tank and Seal Facility where student
interpreters discuss research conducted at the OSC, marine mammal
and sealing issues, and introduce the curious to a variety of
native sea creatures.
