In each report section outlined to your left, you will find additional information on some stories contained in the report printed version. Additionally, there are more than 40 Web exclusive stories that describe additional noteworthy accomplishments at each of our 14 sites. Over the next few months, we will provide in-depth information on a featured accomplishment.

Each year in the State of the Sanctuaries Report, we try something new in how we present our accomplishments to our readers. As we started last year, some of our program’s major accomplishments and activities are discussed in five theme areas: resource protection and management; science and exploration; education and outreach; community involvement and partnerships; and maritime heritage. The accomplishments described in these theme areas reflect the regional and national scope of the activities undertaken by the sanctuary program and our partners.
