Mystic Aquarium

Sea Research Foundation, parent of Mystic Aquarium, The JASON Project and renowned oceanographer Dr. Robert Ballard's Institute for Exploration, has been named one of America's exceptional charities by Charity Navigator, a nonprofit organization that analyzes the financial and managerial health of charities nationwide.

Sea Research Foundation’s Mystic Aquarium has welcomed Naluark (Na-loo-ark), a male beluga whale from Chicago’s John G. Shedd Aquarium. Naluark comes to Mystic with the hope that he will breed with one of the aquarium’s two female beluga whales.
