The re-energized focus on Long Island Sound's story is obvious in the colorfully redesigned main hall, which has been renamed Newman's Own Hall in celebration of a $1.2 million grant from Newman's Own Foundation."

Summer in the Sound: Jellyfish Encounter, Tropical Travelers and Sea Turtles
Next is Jellyfish Encounter, which offers a sting-free study of one of the most mesmerizing and unusual creatures in the sea.
Jellies have no brain, heart, blood, lungs or gills, yet have existed on Earth for 650 million years. Visitors discover that jellyfish are more than just floating annoyances that can pack a painful sting. The sight of dozens of jellyfish pulsing through the water can almost take your breath away.
Tropical and colorful coral reef tanks contain many very popular species of fish in tanks full of live coral.
The Maritime Aquarium inspires people of all ages to appreciate Long Island Sound
and protect it for future generations. A vibrant and entertaining learning environment,
it achieves this goal through living exhibits, marine science, and environmental education.
