The Aquarium of Niagara, also known as the Aquarium of Niagara Falls and the Niagara Falls Aquarium, is a not-for-profit aquarium in Niagara Falls, New York. Originally privately owned and founded by a group of chemists and other scientists, it opened on June 12, 1965. Ownership was transferred to a non-profit foundation, the Sea Research Foundation, in 1977, and then to the Niagara Aquarium Foundation in 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aquariumofniagara.org/history.htm )〕 The aquarium's stated mission is "to broaden the public’s awareness of aquatic ecosystems through innovative and stimulating exhibits, displays, and educational and recreational programs that promote conservation and support research."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aquariumofniagara.org/mission.htm )〕
