BOSTON, Mass. – This fall, the New England Aquarium will host 10 free lectures on climate change, conservation, research and wildlife. Lectures will be held on Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the Harborside Learning Lab located in the Ocean Center at the New England Aquarium unless otherwise noted.

The Aquarium has been providing free lectures and films by scientists, environmental writers, photographers and others since 1972. The Aquarium Lecture Series is presented to the public through the generous support of the Lowell Institute. The Institute, established in 1836 by John Lowell, Jr., sponsors and/or underwrites public lectures, exhibits and related activities for the citizens of Massachusetts.
