Today is the FIRST EVER #NationalMarineSanctuaryDay! #OnThisDay in 1972, Congress enacted the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act. Today, our system of underwater parks spans over 620,000 sq miles of our ocean & Great Lakes.

One of our favorite memories this past year is an outing at Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary! In June, along with our amazing partners -  nationalmarinesanctuaryfdn, noaafisheries, NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, and ReelGuppyOutdoors - we took military families on an incredible fishing adventure! 🎣✨
