Marine life at the marina
A little marine-life inspiration, beyond the conference room.
Between sessions, take a stroll along Sutera Harbour Marina and look out for fish beneath the surface. The marina’s seawalls also support hard corals, offering a little marine-life inspiration beyond the conference room!
