A Deck

Featuring an immersive space, interactive installations, marine life photographs, and informative research programmes, the gallery aims to raise awareness of the human impact on the underwater world, highlight the potential loss of Hong Kong's rich marine life in the absence of conservation efforts, and to educate visitors about the ongoing initiatives to sustain and conserve the local marine environment and biodiversity.

The exhibition space unfolds into two distinct narratives: “Under Threat” and “Hope for Tomorrow”. Following the enchanting journey into the marine wonders of Hong Kong, visitors will confront the harsh realities of the human impact on this delicate ecosystem. From the pressures of the fishing industry to the implications of seafood consumption patterns, the exhibition will shed light on the myriad ways in which human activities are challenging the marine environment.

 

The subsequent section will highlight current marine conservation initiatives in Hong Kong, including projects led by the government and NGOs, and current policies aimed at safeguarding and enhancing the marine environment. The overall aim is to motivate the public to commit to marine conservation and empower them with actionable ways to contribute. Complementing the exhibition’s theme of advocating for a sustainable maritime world, a diverse array of talks, workshops and public programmes will be curated alongside the exhibition to enrich the visitor experience and foster a community of marine stewards dedicated to preserving our oceans.

The Hong Kong Maritime Museum opened the Swire Marine Discovery Centre (the Centre) in phases, starting with its adjoining hall and the Learning Centre on D Deck in 2023, and completing with the gallery in 2025. The Centre is a learning platform covering Hong Kong's marine environment, and was made possible thanks to the support of the Swire Group Charitable Trust (the Swire Trust).
