Mystic ― Over the last 50 years, Mystic Aquarium has taken 5,000 calls about stranded or injured wild marine mammals and sea turtles.
An estimated 25,000 people have participated in its citizen scienc.
Gov. Ned Lamont noted in a separate statement that the aquarium is one “of Connecticut’s largest cultural destinations, and its success over the last 16 years is no doubt due in large part to Steve’s leadership.”
Stephen M. Coan, president and CEO of Sea Research Foundation Inc., the nonprofit that operates Mystic Aquarium, announced his retirement Thursday after 20 years with the organization.
Coan will serve as CEO emeritus and assist with the transition, including fundraising and strategic counsel, the organization said.
“Dr. Coan has made Mystic Aquarium a place where all people feel welcomed,” said George Milne, chairman of the Mystic Aquarium Board of Trustees. “Today we are known nationally and internationally as one of the world's best and most innovative aquariums.”
