SUMMARY:Man in the Sea Museum Panama City Beach New Exhibits Open House
LOCATION:The Man in the Sea Museum, 17314 Panama City Beach Pkwy, Panama City Beach,
  FL, 32413
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:The Man in the Sea Museum is excited to announce two new exhibits exploring
  how skilled divers are helping to restore habitats in the mesophotic, or “
 twilight,” zones of the ocean. The Museum will host a celebration of the ex
 hibit on Friday, April 4, 2025 from 12:00 - 3:00pm, which is free and open 
 to the public. Join us for educational games, giveaways, and opportunities 
 to engage with restoration experts, NEDU divers, and museum staff. Be one o
 f the first to experience the exhibit and enjoy activities for ocean lovers
  of all ages!<br /><br />One new exhibit highlights the mesophotic and deep
  benthic communities that live in the Gulf of America (formerly the Gulf of
  Mexico), which include fish, corals, and other invertebrates, and how dedi
 cated teams are working to restore them after the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) o
 il spill. The second new exhibit showcases how highly-trained divers from t
 he Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU), located right in Panama City, cont
 ribute to this restoration and other challenging work beyond the reach of r
 ecreational scuba divers.<br />These exhibits were made possible through a 
 grant from the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, with funding to restor
 e natural resources injured by the 2010 oil spill from the DWH Open Ocean T
 rustees. The new exhibits showcase ongoing restoration efforts by the Mesop
 hotic and Deep Benthic Communities projects and the dedication and skills o
 f the NEDU.<br /><br />Features in this new exhibit include:<br />• Stunnin
 g photos of mesophotic corals, deep-sea diving gear in action, and divers c
 onducting restoration efforts on the seafloor<br />• A video of restoration
  work by the Saturation Detachment of NEDU.<br />• An interactive kiosk tha
 t allows guests to identify species along the seafloor and learn about deep
 -sea habitats and technology.<br />• Hands-on educational activities for ki
