Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration

As our ocean environment - indeed, much of planet Earth - grows more threatened, each day brings a greater sense of urgency. Now more than ever, it is imperative that all of us grasp the significance of the inseperable relationship between land and sea - and take action.

Dozens of Ways to Give

Just as it takes creatures large and small to make up our oceans, it takes donations large and small to keep Sea Research Foundation afloat. Scroll down to read about a few of our more fun and interesting programs.

Benefit the World, and Earn Benefits for Yourself!

Your Ocean Society donation demonstrates your dedication to our mission - to inspire people to care for and protect our ocean planet through education, research and exploration, and helps in hundreds of other ways:

• Hundreds of marine animals rescued, rehabilitated and released
• Hundreds of thousands of at risk youth participating in our education programs
• Hundreds of conservation initiatives that keep beaches clean and animals safe
• Hundreds of thousands of miles of ocean explored and mapped for future generations

You can’t take them home, but you can now adopt one of Mystic Aquarium & Institute For Exploration’s wonderful marine animals. While you provide the love, we provide the care by using your donation to help feed, protect, and continue enrichment for the animals.

Whales & Penguins

and more, oh my!

There are many exceptional opportunities for corporate involvement at Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration.  With nearly 750,000 annual guests, we offer your organization an affordable means to reach a very large attentive audience.  On average, our guests visit the aquarium for two to three hours, insuring that your message is seen and heard by a multitude of visitors.

A Sense-ational way to Protect Our Oceans!
