Our #MarineSanctuary adventures have sailed back west... this time to the breathtaking #ChannelIslands, often called the “Galápagos of North America!” This was the third of five special outings in the National Marine Sanctuary network, designed to connect families with the magic of our nation’s protected marine areas. In partnership with NOAASanctuaries, MarineSanctuaryFdn, and NOAAFisheries, we spent the day learning, fishing, and exploring the one-of-a-kind waters of the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. Families discovered colorful rockfish, playful sea lions, and even whales before casting lines into one of the most vibrant ecosystems in the U.S. 🐟 #NationalParkTrust #SustainableFishing #OceanConservation #GetIntoYourSanctuary #BlueSpaces #OutdoorFamilies #PublicWaters #NOAA #FamilyFishingDay #ProtectOurOceans #NatureForAll #California
