JB Maritime Museum Bubbles and Bivalves

This special event features the ‘Bidhiinja – Restoring Our Oyster Reefs’ exhibition, a talk from Jillian Keating (DPI Oyster Reef Restoration), and an oyster and sparkling wine tasting.
The plight of oyster reefs has been nearly invisible, both globally and locally. “Bidhiinja – Restoring Our Oyster Reefs” is a travelling exhibition showing at the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum. The exhibition has been co-created by DPI Fisheries and the Australian National Maritime Museum, which shares stories of these forgotten reefs by combining First Nations Knowledge, western science and stunning design work by Aboriginal artists. Join us to learn about this fascinating habitat that so few are aware of, their cultural and ecological significance and how a range of partners are now working to restore these unique and vibrant habitats to our seascape map.
