Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration is more than just a place to see aquatic animals and archaeological exhibits. We’re a recognized leader in oceanic research. Our ongoing aquarium research projects enable us to study animals in controlled environments and natural habitats. These projects help us learn more about each species, so we can give them the best care possible, or help in the rescue, rehabilitation and release of stranded animals back into the wild. |
