Exhibition dives deep into WA’s marine parks
An exhibition hosted by the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre at the WA Shipwrecks Museum in Fremantle showcases research from the Deep-Sea Research Centre’s two-year project, Exploring the Deepest Parts of Australian Marine Parks.
Visitors can experience the WA deep-sea environment through underwater footage, preserved specimens and research technology.
Deputy Director of the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre Dr Todd Bond said people attending would experience the deep-sea environment through underwater footage, preserved specimens and research technology.
Highlights include footage of the deepest fish ever filmed in Australia and specimens of the deepest fish ever caught in Australia.
Held in collaboration with the WA Museum, Minderoo Foundation and Parks Australia, the exhibition also features Indigenous artwork by Wadandi Noongar and Ait Koedhal artist Tyrown Waigana.
The deep-sea project is funded by the Australian Government’s Our Marine Parks Grants program, with additional funding from the Minderoo Foundation.
