Exhibitions

This exhibit urges all of us to raise awareness of the rapid ecological destruction taking place in our marine environment. It invites us to join thousands of activists in Israel and worldwide in participating in both small- and large-scale actions in support of the ocean’s ecological health.

Israel’s location along trade routes connecting three continents - Asia, Africa, and Europe - has given its ports historical significance. Until the early twentieth century, the ports of Jaffa and Acre were the country’s main ports, serving as gateways for passengers and cargo. These ports developed over thousands of years as organic parts of their cities, similar to other historical ports along the Mediterranean.
