Baltimore Every contribution helps us to preserve and protect our environment. From the CEO

The National Aquarium was founded through a unique partnership with the people of Baltimore City. What began as a project to revitalize the city’s neglected Inner Harbor has grown to become an urban success story. Over the past three decades, the Aquarium has emerged as one of the world’s top aquariums, and the Inner Harbor is a model for urban waterfront renewal. As Maryland’s most popular attraction, the Aquarium is a critical economic engine that has made Baltimore’s downtown waterfront a vibrant hub for businesses, families, and visitors to enjoy.

After 31 years, however, our galleries, exhibits, and infrastructure are showing the strain of hosting nearly 50 million visitors. At the same time, the health and resiliency of aquatic ecosystems worldwide have been challenged, and we now bear a major responsibility to address the threats facing our coasts and oceans. We take this duty very seriously, and one of our first steps has been to embark on a $50 million fundraising campaign to revitalize and update the entire Aquarium. This multi-year effort starts with Blacktip Reef in 2013 and is followed by Atlantic Seashores, which will feature the abundant life of our Mid-Atlantic beaches and dunes using exciting, interactive exhibits and two living “touch” pools. Many more such improvements will follow in the decade ahead. Annual Report National Aquarium

The National Aquarium is an active and tireless advocate for the myriad wonders 2 that make up our aquatic world—whether they be , habitats, or even human communities—and wherever we operate, we are focused on our mission to inspire conservation of the world’s aquatic treasures.

We have learned that the ocean is our planet’s “life support system”—the source of half of our life-giving oxygen, the receptacle for most of the world’s carbon, and the moderator of Earth’s weather and climate. Our future depends on how well we nurture and care for this life support system. As an important voice for ocean conservation, we count on the support and commitment of those who are recognized in this report to accomplish such goals. We are deeply grateful to our dedicated donors and friends whose contributions sustain our efforts, and we hope you will continue to do so for years to come. There is, after all, only one National Aquarium, and we will not rest until it is recognized as our nation’s finest.

As a private nonprofit organization, we depend on the generosity of those who understand our mission and support our work.

We invite you to be a part of a bright future for the National Aquarium by joining us in our continuing efforts to create world-class exhibits, delight our guests, and drive conservation action. As a private, nonprofit organization, the Aquarium relies on the involvement and generosity of friends, corporate partners, and foundations. Only through your gift of support can we develop the exhibits and programs that amaze, inspire, and connect with our guests in powerful ways—and spark the desire to protect and conserve this incredible blue planet.
