New York Aquarium was founded in 1896 at fort Clinton castle in battery park on the southern tip of Manhattan. In 1902, the zoological society of New York (now the wildlife conservation society) assumed ownership of the aquarium. Although the location of the aquarium has changed, first from castle Clinton to the Bronx zoo and then in 1957 to what is now coney island, WCS's commitment to connecting new yorkers to the Marine wildlife in the aquarium has never wavered7. At the aquarium, they work on connecting visitors to the ocean, focusing on the field research that scientists are doing near New York waters. The work of their scientists at New York Aquarium conservation program - including shark and whale tagging, ecological monitoring, and conservation of local habitats - continues to preserve the legacy of Marine science at the aquarium.
