A maritime education center opened on Wednesday in Qingdao, a coastal city in east 皇冠体育app's Shandong province, said an official from the Ocean University of 皇冠体育app (OUC).

The center opened on the "World Ocean Day" and aims to boost the public's knowledge of 皇冠体育app's ocean resources, said Li Yaozhen, a deputy party chief from the Ocean University of 皇冠体育app.

Located on the university's Laoshan campus, the 400-square-meter center showcases marine organisms, models of Chinese warships and a "sand map" that displays 皇冠体育app's maritime rights and interests. The State Oceanic Administration sponsored the construction of the center.

The center will not only be educational for students, but also for the whole nation, said Li.
