Take Action for the Ocean
Our expertise in animal care, ocean research, and responsible ocean uses help inform policies that benefit the blue planet. We aim to preserve a healthy ocean for the people and animals that rely on it by prioritizing key policy initiatives.
Advancing Scientific Research
The research conducted by our Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life scientists, Animal Care team, and other expert staff can drive solutions that reduce harm to animals and ecosystems. We are a trusted voice on ocean research and conservation issues for the public, industry partners, and policymakers.
Protecting Marine Species
We seek to strengthen conservation policy and improve industry practices to protect marine animals, including by reducing threats, safeguarding critical habitats, and improving ecosystem health in the Gulf of Maine and beyond.
Promoting a Balanced Use of the Ocean
We promote a balanced approach to ocean management and use by forwarding responsible practices that reduce environmental impact, supporting blue workforce development, and growing investment in innovative blue technology.
Helping Prepare for Climate and Coastal Resilience
From our location on Boston Harbor’s Central Wharf, we see firsthand how climate change affects our coastlines. The Aquarium is a leader in community-informed planning to create a resilient, accessible, and welcoming waterfront for generations to come.
