Why does the ocean smell like the ocean?

By itself, saltwater has no scent. But the things that live in it certainly do. Digested phytoplankton, seaweed sex pheromones and algae defense mechanisms all mix together to give us the low tide iodine smell we associate with any classic ocean scene.

Art, education and architecture - or more specifically cargotecture - combine to create an otherworldly deep dive into a microscopic world beneath the waves. Literally.

The exhibit - housed in a set of shipping containers - will be accessible from the shore by a long pier. While the entrance will appear to float above the waterline, the main exhibit area will be submerged beneath the waves.

Once below the waves, guests will find interactive scented sculptures creating engaging and educational scenes.
