ONLY ONE MONTH LEFT until #NationalMarineSanctuaryDay! 🌊 Join the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation on October 23 for a celebration of our protected waters in the #ocean and Great Lakes. National marine sanctuaries were first conceived when environmental crises in the 1970s caught public attention and highlighted the urgent need for conservation action. Over 50 years later, national marine sanctuaries continue to help communities confront today's #conservation challenges, like #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss, and systemic inequity, and help us strive towards solutions- together. #NationalMarineSanctuaryDay launches a campaign of sanctuary stories. This year, the focus is on stories of youth leadership and activism for our ocean and Great Lakes, expanding access to sanctuaries for #tourism and recreation, and arts and culture inspired by our protected waters. Learn more about how YOU can celebrate sanctuaries with us at https://lnkd.in/ggYzdbpb! #NationalMarineSanctuaryDay

National Marine Sanctuary Day launches a campaign of sanctuary stories. This year, the focus is on stories of youth leadership and activism for our ocean and Great Lakes, expanding access to sanctuaries for tourism and recreation, and arts and culture inspired by our protected waters. Sanctuaries are solutions against existential threats of climate change, biodiversity loss, and systemic inequity. They are drivers of sustainable economic development in coastal communities, and are living laboratories for ecological protection and restoration and cultural preservation. They are for everyone as public waters, increasing access to nature and its benefits. And, it will take all of us working together to conserve these amazing wonders. The stories from throughout the National Marine Sanctuary System show that conservation, our shared heritage, and human well-being are deeply woven together in our national character. Our waters bring us together. Our national marine sanctuaries tell the stories. Celebrate these stories with us on National Marine Sanctuary Day.
