Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration can't succeed without the help of volunteers and we have some of the best!

Friends of Mystic Aquarium

The Friends of Mystic Aquarium (FOMA) will celebrate their 14th anniversary as an organization formed to support Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration within the community. The focus of the volunteer group, whose original mission was to increase understanding and awareness of educational and research programs at the aquarium, has evolved further to include sponsorship and support of various fundraising activities, as well as assistance with special community events, such as:

ARK: Animal Rescue Kayak

Festival of Lights 

Members are also asked to help foster growth of Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration membership. For more information on joining FOMA, call us at 860-572-5955 ext. 515.
