To make Nauticus work, take the displays out of kindergarten level and make them high school or college level. Cost too much? We have fine intelligent students in our high schools and colleges who could display experiments in sea life, models of ships and sailing equipment made by them.
They could build miniature high-tech equipment to show solutions to today's deep-sea problems - how sea farming would enhance our food supply with seaweed and other plants. Medical students could show the plants and animals from the sea that have added new and life-saving medicines.
Make displaying at Nauticus an honor. The cost would be minimal, the honor tremendous and the supply of minds and hands unlimited with the schools, colleges and universities we have here. Displays could be changed frequently so people would return to see what is new.
