North East Council of Aquarium Societies

The Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies is a coalition of aquarium, pond, and water garden clubs and hobbyists from Maine to Maryland! The NEC was established in 1956 to assist and strengthen member societies, to act as a clearing house for material, industry news, and pending legislation relating to the aquarium hobby, to assist local societies in publicizing their events, and to promote the aquarium hobby in general. 

The NEC’s Annual Convention is an opportunity to gather knowledge related to our hobby, meet that special speaker, mingle with long-time hobbyists and share your experiences with newcomers in the hobby.  We encourage everyone to expand your knowledge and socialize with the friendly group who appear year after year; this is an educational and social weekend open to all and we invite you to come experience the NEC’s Annual Convention!
