The National Maritime Museum Cornwall - The Tidal Zone

Two tall windows in the Tidal Zone provide a unique view of underwater life in the Fal estuary. As the tide rises the view changes and the museum pontoon and distant views are replaced with a seascape filled with fish, crabs and other marine life. You can see the low tide mark at the bottom of the window, look up to see just how far the water rises at high tide.

When you've had enough of looking out of the window, you can use interactive displays to discover how the moon influences the tide and find out more about the plants and animals that live in this Special Conservation Area.
