ln the financial year to which this report relates, Whitby Marine Discovery Centre CIC has made meaningful progress toward delivering on its mission to connect people with the marine environment and promote conservation through education, research, and engagement. Building on our commitment to showcasing Britain's native marine biodiversity, we have welcomed over 10,000 visitors to our centre. Our interactive exhibits, marine tanks, and educational displays have helped raise awareness about local marine species and the impoftance of sustainable coastal stewardship. We have also worked to inspire the next generation of marlne champions by engaging directly with schools. Over 1,000 schoolchildren have participated in our tailored educational visits, which include hands-on activities and age-appropriate learning about marine life, conservation, and the work of the Whitby Lobster Hatchery. Through our relationship with the Whitby Lobster Hatchery, local universities, industry groups, and community stakeholders, we are laying the foundations to support conservation effotls and citizen science initiatives. These collaborations are beginning to take shape and are key to our long-term vision of fostering greater guardianship of our marine environments. Overall, our activities this year have had a positive and growing impact on the community, improving access to marine education and conservation awareness in Whitby and beyond.
During the reporting period, we actively sought feedback from our visitors to better understand the impact of our work and to inform our ongoing development. To date, a total of 463 visitors have completed our feedback survey, with 84% indicating that they would appreciate the marine environment more following their visit to the centre. Additional feedback has also highlighted the positive effect our work is having on the local community, particularly in terms of education and engagement with marine conservation. A full report on the survey responses will be produced and it will be a vital part of informing our future work. We have also been in ongoing consultation with the Whitby Lobster Hatchery, a key stakeholder and close partner in our activities. As we look to the future, this relationship will remain central to our operations. We are working collaboratively to deliver shared educational objectives and to raise awareness of the hatchery's important conservation work. Together, we aim to build a deeper public understanding of the challenges facing our marine ecosystems and to inspire collective stewardship.
