Mystic Aquarium

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 inseparable relationship between land and sea - and take action. And because Sea Research Foundation is a 501(c)3 corporation, your donation may well be tax deductible.

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.

You can’t take them home, but you can adopt one of Mystic Aquarium's wonderful marine animals. As an Animal Parent, you help us feed, protect and provide enrichment for the animals here at the Aquarium. Adoption kits include a personalized certificate, photo and fact sheet, and other fun stuff. Animal Parent kits make great gifts!

Due to the personalization of each kit, we need five business days to process, plus USPS mailing time. Please keep this in mind as you plan you last minute shopping.
