“I am heartened and inspired that the National Marine Sanctuary System is protecting areas of breathtaking beauty – areas that are filled with marine life, giving the ocean its best chance to stay healthy for us all and for future generations. I feel so good that I am able to be a volunteer for sanctuaries, and that my daughter is watching me, and also helping, having learned that we can all make a difference to the ocean (and thus our planet) in some way if we pitch in!“
– Ruth Rubin, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary volunteer.
