HONG KONG MARITIME MUSEUM, Deck B Rooms B5 And B6

Oceans cover most of our planet and are an essential resource for the lives of both humans and other inhabitants of the planet.

Room B5 hosts “The Underwater World”, an exhibition that helps you explore a variety of aspects, from fascinating archeological discoveries at the bottom of the sea to the materials extracted from the depths thanks to modern technologies.

An important part of the exhibition focuses on the serious issue of pollution, the problems that oceans face as a result of climate change and the huge amount of waste released into the sea. Several topics are examined, all with one aim: to save the oceans and the growing number of species at risk of extinction through the cooperation of scientists and governments and with the help of international agreements that, unfortunately, not all countries are party to. The purpose of this exhibition is to raise visitors’ awareness of the most important ecological issues of today and of the future.

Now press pause and move on to the last exhibition, in room B6.

This is the COSCO Gallery, named after the large Chinese state naval transport company....
