Through a series of educational panels, displays, and interactive activities, the new exhibit provides an entertaining overview of the policies and processes of the Navy’s environmental stewardship programs. The exhibit highlights the Navy processes for protecting the marine environment, planning for environmental protection, and the technologies that are used to reduce waste.

Designed for audiences of all ages, the U.S. Navy’s environmental mascot, Stewie, shows kids how naval ships and sailors use protective measures to safeguard marine life. Interactive stations include educating visitors on hydrophone technology, teaching them how to identify various types of whales, and providing the opportunity to simulate using “Big Eyes” as a Navy lookout to protect the ship and environment from harm.
