The Marine Bioblitz Exhibit brings science and art together to celebrate the Sunshine Coasts' marine biodiversity.

Celebrating science, creativity and conservation in our Blue Biosphere.

In August 2024, citizen scientists worked alongside experts to collect biodiversity data on local marine species within the declared Sunshine Coast UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Over three huge days, an incredible 840 people participated in the Marine Bioblitz through workshops, dives and snorkels, along the coastline and up to 5kim offshore. 

Artist in residence Deb Mostert brought her renowned creative talent to document the ocean-loving action, whilst photographers and acoustic ecologists captured the on-shore, underwater and science-in-the-field activities. 

In April 2025, the Marine Bioblitz Exhibit presents the shared achievements: including creatively presented data, photography, painting, audio, sculpture, and multimedia works.

In the same spirit of shared curiosity and care for our coastlines and oceans that drove the Marine Bioblitz, you are invited to come and explore the creative and scientific outcomes. 

When

Open daily Saturday 5 April - Saturday 19 April, 9.30am - 3.30pm. 

Closed Friday 18 April (public holiday)

Where

Maroochy Arts and Ecology Centre, Maroochy Bushland Botanic Garden, 51 Palm Creek Rd, Tanawha QLD 4554
