BREWSTER, NY — Marianna Collins and her son James were among the long-time supporters of The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk given special recognition on June 8 as the Aquarium opened its new seal habitat.

The Brewster residents first became members of the Aquarium back in 1990. They and other honored supporters received a special behind-the-scenes tour of the new exhibit, Pinniped Cove. At 160,000 gallons and 22 feet deep, it is the largest in the Aquarium’s history.
