The Marine Discovery Center, a new, interactive 16,000 sq. ft. exhibition space will replace Feiro Marine Life Center’s existing 40-year-old facility. The planning of this accessible exhibition experience will prioritize engaging visitor connections to the ocean environment by improving scientific literacy skills, increasing awareness of historical and recent regional Tribal knowledge, encouraging stewardship actions in the marine environment, and developing deeper understandings of important local species. The Marine Discovery Center is a joint venture of Feiro Marine Life Center, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, and Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Foundation.
