Welcome to the online home
of The Boston Aquarium Society.
Founded in 1916, The Boston Aquarium Society is
the longest, continuously running, and the 2nd oldest aquarium club
in the world today.
The Society is dedicated to increasing both
knowledge and interest in the hobby through the activities of its'
members. Long term involvement is encouraged at every opportunity.
For example, our annual plant and fish growth projects, the
Breeders' Award Program, and placing aquaria in classrooms. As
hobbyists we enjoy the fellowship afforded us through this type of
organization.

A Short Film by Rob

"David (15) and his two
buddies are the youngest members of the Boston Aquarium Society. The
three make their way to a monthly meeting but David has a secret he
is reluctant to share"
Several of the extras were actual members of
the Boston Aquarium Society. BAS members also served as "fish
wranglers," setting up dozens of tanks and getting the fish to swim
on cue.
