Channel Islands National Marine Sancturary "This poster features Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, located off the coast of central California. A special place for endangered species, sensitive habitats, historic shipwrecks, and cultural resources, this poster highlights the true beauty and importance of the waters surrounding the Channel Islands." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA Monitor National Marine Sancturary "As part of the 50th anniversary, a new commemorative poster will be released each month to capture the beauty and diversity of your National Marine Sanctuary System—starting with Monitor National Marine Sanctuary." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA Cordell Bank National Marine Sancturary "Ocean conditions and undersea topography combine to fuel a rich and diverse marine community around Cordell Bank. The rocky bank is encrusted with colorful anemones, sponges, and corals and provides habitat for species like top snails, decorator crabs, rosy rockfish, lingcod, and giant Pacific octopus. The waters above and around the bank concentrate krill, juvenile rockfish, anchovy, and jellies attracting ocean sunfish, California sea lions, and the blue whale." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA Gray's Reef National Marine Sancturary "Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary, located off the coast of Georgia. The reef's scattered rocky outcroppings and ledges provide home for an abundance of marine life, which form a dense carpet of living creatures called a "live bottom." This poster highlights the true beauty and importance of the waters surrounding Gray's Reef." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary "This poster features Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, located off the Northern Coast California. A special place for endangered species, sensitive habitats, historic shipwrecks, and cultural resources, this poster highlights the true beauty and importance of the waters surrounding Greater Farallones." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa "Samoan culture, customs, and language underpin a traditional way of life and stewardship of marine resources. The poster features an ava bowl used for ceremonial practices, a Samoan fale (house) found in villages, and fautasi or long boat canoe. Underwater, tropical coral gardens teem with marine life, including iconic humphead wrasses, endangered hawksbill sea turtles, giant clams, massive Porites corals, and colorful parrotfish, while an oceanic whitetip shark and yellowfin tuna swim near the reef edge." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary "Coastal mangroves and seagrass are nurseries for many species of fish, invertebrates and birds that inhabit Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. These calm, shallow waters are ideal for paddle sports, snorkeling, and fishing for species like tarpon. The offshore coral reef features elkhorn and brain corals, sponges, and other invertebrates which create habitat for spiny lobster, urchins, and many other species of reef fish like sergeant major and larger fish like sharks, rays, barracuda, and snapper." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary "The sanctuary is best known as a dive destination because of the beautiful coral reefs perched atop East and West Flower Garden Banks. However, these areas only account for a tiny fraction (2%) of the entire sanctuary. The majority of sanctuary habitats lie deeper beneath the waves in an area known as the mesophotic or "twilight" zone. Scuba and remotely operated vehicle technologies allow us to explore and learn about these areas."

Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary "Davidson Seamount is an inactive underwater volcano located in the sanctuary. The undersea mountain is an impressive 7,480 feet tall, 26 miles long, and 8 miles wide, yet its summit still sits 4,100 feet below the ocean surface in complete darkness. Though without sunlight, this pristine seamount is an "oasis in the deep," hosting an abundance of deep-sea corals, vast sponge fields, deep-sea fishes, crustaceans, and jellies, many of which emit light and are new to science. In 2018, incredible octopus gardens were discovered, with thousands of females brooding their eggs on the flanks of the seamount." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary "Hawaiians managed natural resources in ahupua’a, which are land divisions that run from the mountains to the sea. The sanctuary follows this traditional wisdom that recognizes what happens on the land (mauka) impacts the ocean (makai). Within the ocean, koholā serve as ambassadors for collaborative, holistic management to address local and global stressors and protect habitat mauka to makai across the Hawaiian Islands."
