Visitors are invited to learn about the ocean and the

richness of life that it supports through the Aquarium’s

collection of regional specimens on display. There issomething for everyone at the Aquarium! As visitors

enter the Aquarium, they are immersed into the rocky

shore environment as the rock walls in the open gallery

were built to resemble stone bluffs in Acadia National

Park. Set within the rock walls, they will discover

windows that bring into view a variety of Maine marine

ecosystems that exhibit a variety of native specimens.

We provide our visitors with an exciting opportunity to

learn about Maine’s marine resources and fisheries and

to instill in our visitors a sense of wonder, respect, and

stewardship for these resources.
