The National Marine Sanctuary system is designated to protect unique underwater habitats around the U.S. On this report Bill Douros, the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries West Coast Regional Director, describes the myriad of opportunities available to the public to get involved in conserving these habitats.

The Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary is located west of Bodega Bay in Northern California. Cordell Bank is basically a large under water rock that sits on the sea floor and reaches to within 115 feet of the surface. It provides a rich habitat for marine mammals, seabirds, fishes and invertebrates. Jennifer Stock, who is the Education and Outreach Coordinator with the Sanctuary, is our guest.
