Tell Congress: Funding Our National Marine Sanctuaries is Essential!
Right now, Congress is deciding our government’s budget for FY27. The funding they allocate for our national marine sanctuaries determines our ability to continue critical work to conserve the spectacular underwater wildlife, archaeological resources, and cultural seascapes of the United States.
We’re asking lawmakers for sustained funding to steward the 629,000 square miles of national marine sanctuary waters throughout our ocean and Great Lakes. This funding is just a drop in the ocean of the annual federal budget. Marine sanctuaries anchor coastal economies, conserve wildlife and preserve America's cultural and maritime history, and promote access to world-class outdoor recreation.
ACT NOW to email lawmakers and urge them to support essential funding for our national marine sanctuaries.
