The National Aquarium is a nationally recognized conservation, aquatic display, and education organization with locations in Baltimore, MD, and Washington, DC. Annually, more than 1.5 million people are inspired to conserve the world's aquatic treasures by participating in our conservation and educational programming and enjoying our world-class exhibits. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution, we depend upon the support of individuals, foundations, and corporations to provide engaging experiences that excite young people about aquatic life and habitats; welcome diverse audiences from throughout the community; restore fragile Chesapeake Bay wetlands; and rescue, rehabilitate, and release imperiled marine animals.
