Lonely Planet review for Marine Environmental Research Institute
The Marine Environmental Research Institute is an important center studying the relationship between pollution and marine life. Visitors can learn about MERI’s activities in a series of changing exhibitions in the main gallery, often with hands-on exhibits for children. During the summer MERI offers two- to four-hour daily cruises (adult/child from $40/20) led by naturalists. Itineraries range from observing wildlife along the coast to exploring an uninhabited island, all with an educational focus in mind.
