Welcome to the Center for Aquatic Sciences at Adventure Aquarium

The mission of the Center for Aquatic Sciences at Adventure Aquarium is Education and Youth Development through promoting the understanding, appreciation, and protection of aquatic life and habitats.

The nonprofit Center for Aquatic Sciences at Adventure Aquarium (CAS) is a leader in conservation-oriented research, environmental education, and community service both locally and globally.

The Center for Aquatic Sciences at Adventure Aquarium conducts programs offsite through outreach projects to schools and community-based organizations as well as onsite at Adventure Aquarium in a unique partnership to engage aquarium visitors in the wonder of the aquatic world.

The Center for Aquatic Sciences at Adventure Aquarium has accomplished much in conservation and education over the past 26 years. None of this would have been possible without the support of our staff, board of trustees and hundreds of generous donors, members and volunteers who share our dedication to advancing knowledge of the aquatic realm and to the service of youth and families in our community. As we move forward, redefining and growing our organization, we thank you for being with us.
