Lonely Planet review for Marine Exhibitions Center

Operated by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI), the Marine Exhibitions Centre includes an informative marine museum with signs in English and Spanish, two small aquariums and a nature trail through a patch of dry forest containing sloths and iguanas.

At the museum you can also learn about the role that Panama's marine resources play in the country's economy, and the destructive and wasteful effects of harvesting fish and shrimp by net.
