The Birch Aquarium sponsored some of the findings from the research of the University of Connecticut and the Sea Research Foundation.

The Sea Research Foundation

This is a foundation that I couldn't find much info on, but they're linked with the Mystic Aquarium of Connecticut. I wanted to research them a bit because I'd never heard of them before the Birch Aquarium news story.

Mission: Our Research Mission is to conduct high quality research designed to broaden our understanding of the health challenges impacting aquatic species worldwide.
