Thanks to major funding from Biffa Award, Cool Seas has been transformed into an innovative and unique exhibition that celebrates our Yorkshire coastline!
Featuring an ambient jellyfish room, immersive wave wall projection, interactive sandpit, and more, there's something for all ages to enjoy!
This area also spotlights the inspiring local conservation work of Wilder Humber, a pioneering partnership with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and Ørsted. Their ambitious 5-year plan aims to restore vital marine species and habitats back to the Humber estuary, including re-introducing native oysters and re-planting seagrass meadows. Discover more about their work through the seagrass and oyster exhibits in Cool Seas!
Our Northern Seas and Rockpool habitats are home to a variety of native species that can be spotted on UK coastlines.
