Visitor's Centre when completed |
OK, so it's not in the right place, and we didn't control the layout of the building, but myself and my colleague Susanne spent a good part of the Hon Mun Project in developing the interpretive materials for the Hon Mun Island Visitor's Centre. What was particularly "innovative" in Vietnamese terms was we used a stakeholder consultancy process to develop the materials (contrary to the belief of the Director of the MPA Authority who thought the entire interpretive planning process could be done in a day or two).

Cutting the boat |
We worked with local fishing communities to find out about all their different types of boat, the history behind the "eyes" on a boat, the "Ca Ong" (whale) festival, and about their day to day lives.

Displays in the Centre |
We commissioned large concrete coral models, interpretive panels, and even chainsawed a decommissioned fishing boat in two. Oh yes, the Visitor's Centre... became a fabulous habitat for bats! Click
