Dive Into Sanctuaries Without Getting Wet
National marine sanctuaries belong to everyone – but it can be hard for many people to access these underwater treasures. Virtual reality is changing that. New 360-degree images and videos take viewers on a voyage to see amazing marine habitats, animals, shipwrecks, and more. Take your own virtual reality tour at sanctuaries.noaa.gov/vr.
