关于我们
The New England Aquarium is a catalyst for global change through public engagement, commitment to marine animal conservation, leadership in education, innovative scientific research, and effective advocacy for vital and vibrant oceans. It is the only Boston-based cultural institution with a mission focused primarily on the environment, promoting the importance of protecting the blue planet through innovative exhibits and educational programs. These are some highlights of the Aquarium’s mission in action, on exhibit, and through our education, conservation, and research programs here on Central Wharf and around the globe. -The Trust Family Foundation Shark and Ray Touch Tank and the New Balance Foundation Marine Mammal Center showcase the diversity and importance of marine animals. -The Giant Ocean Tank inspires visitors with the beauty and complexity of marine habitat through replication of a Caribbean coral reef. -Aquarium educators lead a nationwide initiative on climate change and inspire future ocean protectors with hands-on programs such as Harbor Discoveries Camps and live blue? Ambassadors. -The Aquarium’s Marine Animal Rescue Team leads regional efforts to rehabilitate and release endangered species of sea turtles at our state-of-the-art Animal Care Center. -Aquarium scientists advise some of the nation’s largest seafood companies on methods to enhance the sustainability of commercial fisheries worldwide. -The Aquarium is home to the world’s longest-running right whale research program, coordinating efforts along the East Coast of the U.S. to restore the population of this endangered species. -The Aquarium collaborates with partners around the world to protect ocean ecosystems, such as coral reefs. In 2008, we partnered with the island nation of Kiribati and Conservation International to create the Phoenix Islands Protected Area.

A huge thank you to Mark de Boer for joining our team on the beach to help look for cold-stunned sea turtles! ?? Mark, Curator of Fishes, Reptiles, Amphibians, and Invertebrates at Rotterdam Zoo, along with Aquarium and Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary staff, spent a day on the beach last weekend searching for stranded sea turtles. Mark’s visit to the U.S. included stops at multiple sea turtle rehabilitation centers, and he even helped release a critically endangered Kemp’s ridley turtle that was rehabilitated after stranding in the Netherlands. We were thrilled to have Mark's expertise and passion for marine life alongside us. Thank you, Mark, for your dedication to wildlife and for being part of this important work with us! ???? #SeaTurtles #SeaTurtleRescue #SeaTurtleRehabilitation

"The youth are not only our future leaders; they are also our leaders of today." - Letise LaFeir, chief of conservation and stewardship at the Aquarium In mid-October, we partnered with the Museum of Science for a two-day Youth Climate Summit, welcoming 80 students from across MA and upstate NY. The summit began at the Aquarium, followed by a full day at the Museum, where teens connected, attended workshops, and explored topics like gardening, recycling, environmental policy, and climate leadership. The summit wrapped up with teens creating their own Climate Action Plans, outlining specific issues they want to tackle in their communities and how they’ll drive change. What an inspiring weekend! We can’t wait for next year. #YouthClimateSummit #YouthLeadership #ClimateAction #ClimateChange
