The mission of the New England Aquarium is to increase understanding of aquatic life and environments, to enable people to act to conserve the world of water, and to provide leadership for the preservation and sustainable use of aquatic resources. The mission is fulfilled through exhibits and through education, conservation and research programs. Exhibits showcase the diversity, importance and beauty of aquatic life and habitats, and highlight aquatic conservation issues of importance.
Programs emphasize species, habitats, and issues critical to New England.
