Our 100 Species exhibition is now at The Scottish Fisheries Museum in Anstruther! The 100 Species Exhibition celebrates the life that thrives on our coast and in our seas. It takes viewers on a journey from the skies above, to the shore, through the inter-tidal zone, before finally taking a deep dive under the waves.

The wolf fish is a fascinating creature that plays an important role in the ocean’s ecosystems. Unfortunately, overfishing, pollution, and climate change are putting immense pressure on its population. Without action, the wolf fish could become extinct in our lifetimes.
