Samudrika Marine Museum

Samudrika Naval Marine Museum, located at Delanipur in Port Blair, is an educational and interactive marine museum maintained and operated by the Indian Navy (INHS Jarawa). Designed to create awareness about marine ecology, ocean environment, and island heritage, the museum features five distinct galleries focusing on Andaman geography, tribal history, marine life, corals, and rare sea shells. The iconic highlight at the entrance is the massive, fully restored skeleton of a young Blue Whale washed ashore in the Andaman islands. Visitors can explore rare living marine aquariums displaying endemic sea anemones, clownfish, lobsters, and sea cucumbers, as well as an extensive shell collection containing rare species like the Giant Tridacna clam and Nautilus.
