Every year, North America's Marine Protected Areas contribute millions of dollars to the economy.

Imagine going to work everyday in the ocean, to study the plants and animals that call it home.

Swim up North America's coast like a whale and you will see its vibrant and diverse life. Some of the places along the way are marine protected areas that ensure safe passage and abundant food for the planet's marine animals. These diverse areas also protect an incredible variety of marine life.

Marine protected areas offer a perfect adventure.
