From the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:

"During the National Marine Sanctuary System's 50th anniversary celebration in 2022, a commemorative poster series was launched to capture the beauty and diversity of each site in the system."

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."

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."

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." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA

Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary
"Beneath the cold, blue waters of the sanctuary lies a different world, rich in diverse habitats, abundant marine life, and history. The Coastal Treaty Tribes have stood sentinel over these waters for millennia. Working together with partners, the sanctuary’s mission is to protect this area now and for future generations. This is done through resource protection, research and monitoring, and education and outreach."

Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Sanctuary
"The seascape of Papahānaumokuākea is like no other place on Earth. Its great cultural significance to Kānaka ʻŌiwi is represented through the art of wayfinding and stars at sunrise over Mokumanamana. It is abundant in apex predators like sharks and jacks, endemic species like the īlio holo i ka uaua and masked angelfish, and seabirds filling the skies. Papahānaumokuākea also holds tribute to a rich maritime history, including U.S. Navy aircraft, the Battle of Midway as represented through the USS Yorktown, and a try pot once used in commercial whaling to boil whale blubber into oil." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA

Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary
"The sanctuary's main geologic feature, Stellwagen Bank, sits over a complex layered seabed, supporting life, from the red anemones that attach to hard substrate to the sand lance and sand dollars inhabiting the sand beds. Water movement around and over Stellwagen Bank helps bring nutrients that fuel an abundance of life, including cod, tuna, humpback whales, and a variety of seabirds. One of the world’s most endangered large whales, the North Atlantic right whale, visits the sanctuary during the winter and spring to feed." Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA

Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary
"Maritime heritage lies at the center of Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary and helps connect the past to the present. Through stewardship of the region's historic maritime resources and shipwrecks, the sanctuary helps protect and preserve these important pieces of Great Lakes history. The echoes of this historic maritime past can still be felt along Wisconsin's shoreline. These ports have been tied to Wisconsin's maritime trades for over 150 years, and continue to preserve that history today."
