Ocean Explorium
The Sea: we look to it for inspiration, sustenance and adventure. Our community is defined by the sea. Throughout our history we have taken both pleasure and profit from the waters that meet our shores and from the oceans beyond.

But how much do we know about the sea and the forces that act upon it? How can we be wiser and more effective stewards of this wonderful resource? How can we meet the challenges and opportunities that face our friends and neighbors who make their living from the sea? How can we ensure that our children will both love the sea and embrace its critical role in their lives?

We would like to thank our generous supporters!


On Summerfest Saturday, the Ocean Explorium welcomed approximately 700 visitors through its doors!  As the Sphere stirred imaginations, local vendors demonstrated ocean technologies used in New Bedford and the oceans beyond.  This overwhelmingly positive turn-out was matched by volunteers, interns and community partners who gave enthusiasm, dedication and energy--creating a unique experience for all.  Thank you!
