The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) is collaborating with the City of Santa Cruz and the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation (NMSF) in a public-private partnership to design and build the MBNMS Exploration Center. It will encourage visitors to examine this remarkably productive marine environment, the issues impacting the sanctuary and their personal roles in protecting one of our nation's treasures. Located just steps from the ocean in Santa Cruz's famed beah area, this facility will provide state-of-the-art, interactive, interpretive exhibits to an anticipated 200,000 visitors annually. The new Exploration Center will also highlight environmentally sustainable green design and construction methods.
