The Aquarium of Niagara is a non-profit public aquarium in Niagara Falls, New York dedicated to education and conservation of aquatic life. Originally privately owned and founded by a group of chemists and other scientists, it opened on June 12, 1965. Ownership was transferred to a non-profit foundation, the Sea Research Foundation, in September 1977, and then to the Niagara Aquarium Foundation on February 18, 1994.[2] The aquarium features rescued seals and sea lions, Humboldt penguins, sharks, jellyfish, and over 128 species of mammals, fish, birds, and reptiles. The Aquarium of Niagara is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

The Niagara Aquarium Foundation is governed by a board of trustees. The board of trustees appoints an executive director, who has immediate charge and control of the administration and operation of the aquarium. The Aquarium of Niagara is currently under the direction of Gary K. Siddall, who was hired for the role of executive director in June 2016.

After independence, in pursuance of the government's policy to discourage distinctions between communities based on race, the 1951 Census of India did away with racial classifications. Today, the national Census of independent India does not recognise any racial groups in India.[1] S...
