Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
spacer
The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary was established in September 1992. The Sanctuary encompasses a shoreline length of 276 miles and 6,094 square miles of ocean from Marin to Cambria. It supports one of the world's most diverse ecosystems, home to numerous mammal, fish, bird, invertebrate and plant species. 

Marine sanctuaries strive to preserve ocean environments that are still relatively pristine while promoting multiple use of the area for enjoyment by everyone. Ninety percent of the U.S. population lives within 200 miles of the nation's coastlines and competition for use of ocean resources is growing rapidly. Website
