Responsible Wildlife Viewing

As a travel destination, few places on the planet can compete with the diversity of the National Marine Sanctuary System, which protects America's most iconic natural and cultural marine resources. Encountering wildlife can be a once-in-a lifetime opportunity! Our simple guidelines for “Responsible Wildlife Viewing” were created to educate the public to prevent human/wildlife conflict while promoting positive and memorable experiences and can be used almost everywhere!
