The Ocean Explorer Centre has been developed by marine scientists from the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) to share with visitors and schools their fascination and concerns for the sea. It showcases much of the research done at SAMS. It provides an ideal base for both indoor and outdoor education and runs several engaging and informative workshops for school groups, such as food chains, renewable energy and marine pollution. We cluster mentors have taken groups numerous times and it has always proved a huge hit with the pupils and they have aways come away with lots of knowledge, as well as having had their eyes opened to potential scientific careers too. If you haven’t yet visited, we highly recommend it.
