Also, Special programs will be provided for children.

The Undersea Scientific Observatory will provide a unique resource for oceanographers and biologists to observe sea life behavior in a 24 hours setting as well as participate in enhancement projects for underwater environments. The University of Hawaii has expressed strong interest in participating in this program to support a vibrant ecosystem with a range of sea creatures, corals, and other marine life. Establishing new education and recreation opportunities and providing a safe and engaging ocean environment for all ages and abilities are central to the Undersea Habitat development.
