Logan
Fish Pond & Marine Life Centre
In
2000, the Marine Life Centre (Logan Fish Pond) celebrated
its Bicentennial, 1800 – 2000.
In 1788
Andrew McDouall Laird of Logan decided to create a Fish Larder
for storing live sea fish by adapting a natural rock formation
on the shore. The work took 12 years and was finished in 1800.
Recent
additions to the original pond include Touch Pools, Cave Aquarium
and Gift Shop. The Victorian Bathing Hut and Pool adjacent
to the pond is also now open for viewing.
Visitors
can enjoy exploring the touch pools, find out what a starfish
feels like and what it eats.
Many varieties
of sea urchins and fish can be seen. These are all originally
from the waters in and around Port Logan.
