Amazing Wildlife Lives Here
Where else can you encounter the majestic animals of the ocean in their natural habitats? In your national marine sanctuaries, you can see whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, birds, sea otters, manta rays, and more. Before you go, take a moment to educate yourself on the responsible way to watch wildlife.
