]]> Mystic Aquarium, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, is counted among the nation’s leading aquariums, offering exemplary care to a variety of species while also serving as the northeast’s premier marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation center. Robust conservation and education programming along with unparalleled visitor experiences serve to strengthen personal connections to the animals and their environments. The mission of Mystic Aquarium is to inspire people to care for and protect the ocean planet through conservation, education and research, and introduces approximately 800,000 guests annually to thousands of animals through structured interpretations, specially-curated exhibits and hands-on interactions. As a leading research organization, Mystic Aquarium employs a full staff of scientists engaged in projects focused on the conservation and sustainability of our ocean planet.

CRISAccess created both audio exhibits and audio sensory bags with QR Code signs that trigger audio descriptions and information about aquamarine life located in particular exhibits.

“As Connecticut’s largest cultural attraction, Mystic Aquarium is excited to continue to collaborate with CRIS Radio and its CRISAccess program. This program furthers our efforts to increase accessibility across our campus and offers new opportunities to guests with disabilities to enhance learning about the ocean and its inhabitants. We applaud CRIS Radio for working diligently to ensure everyone has the opportunity to learn what is happening in their world, both here at Mystic Aquarium and beyond.”

– Stephen Coan, Ph.D., president and CEO of Mystic Aquarium
