Life in the Blue

Some of the most diverse and bountiful ecosystems are just in your backyard, in your National Marine Sanctuary System! These ocean and Great Lakes parks protect everything from endangered species like Hawaiian monk seals to iconic ones like white sharks and corals. Here, you’ll find everything from the charismatic creatures you know from the ocean surface, to mysterious fish and invertebrates of the deep sea. It’s all part of Life in the Blue.
