Our mission to inspire stewardship of the aquatic world comes to life everyday within our Aquarium walls and beyond. We see it come to life ...
...in the smiles on the faces of fourth graders as they create miniature sea grass farms in city classrooms,
...in the hundreds of volunteers who join us each year to restore wetlands and rescue stranded animals,
...through Baltimore teens who take the aquatic world on the road to libraries, and by college-bound youth who explore new career opportunities,
...through the families, neighbors, and congregations who visit free of charge, and those with disabilities who become our special guests,
...as parents and grandparents interpret the world of nature as a stage for sharing life lessons.
We know that we're doing our best work when we see it reflected in our community-when hearts are touched, minds are opened ... when lives are changed. Only when our roots are firmly planted can we extend our reach. And community lies at the core.
