• Registered with CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme
• Our 'Green Team' ensures we reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible
• Working to replace all display track lighting with lower energy bulbs

• Local suppliers are used across all sectors
• All our print materials are designed and printed on recyclable materials by local firms
• A key educational programme for schools focuses on the Museum as an attraction, exploring ideas of economic regeneration and sustainability. Our early years programme introduces children to ideas around caring for the marine environment
• Displays explore the Fal-Helford Estuary as a Special Area of Conservation
