Grantee Spotlight

Save the Bay opened its new Hamilton Family Aquarium on March 18, 2024. Students from Thompson Middle School were invited to attend the event. Doors opened to the public on March 28, 2024.

In partnership with the Hamilton Family Charitable Trust, Save the Bay has expanded its aquarium space to a newly renovated location in downtown Newport. The new Save the Bay Hamilton Family Aquarium houses 13 exhibits focused on the various habitats and local species within Narragansett Bay. This sensory-inclusive facility includes three touch tanks and an augmented reality watershed model for an enhanced, interactive, real-world learning experience. This facility complements Save the Bay’s work in environmental and marine science education programs for the approximately 15,000 local K-12 students who will become the future stewards of Narragansett Bay and its surrounds.
