New England Aquarium rebounds from budget crisis

By Geoff Edgers, Globe Staff

The New England Aquarium today marked an important step in its recovery from the budget crisis that led to layoffs and a more than million dollar deficit three years ago.

The American Zoo and Aquarium Association restored the 37-year-old nonprofit institution's accreditation, which the aquarium lost in 2003 because of financial problems.

Aquarium President and CEO Bud Ris reported that the facility has an operating surplus, and will soon launch a five year plan to upgrade exhibitions and programs.
