Mission Statement

The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation is the official non-profit partner of NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, working to advance its network of 18 marine environments, from Massachusetts to American Samoa and the Great Lakes to the Florida Keys. We work to protect our country’s shared waters, care for marine wildlife and habitats, honor our nation’s maritime history and cultural traditions, and promote the enjoyment of public waters by all Americans.
