Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary celebrating 25th anniversary

The celebration for Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s 25th anniversary is underway, and officials are speaking out about the struggles they have faced.

On September 18, 1992 through an act of Congress, the NOAA officially designated Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary as the 11th site in the sanctuary system. Since then, it has acted as one of the most vital pieces in conservation of marine life.

But it has not always been smooth sailing. The sanctuary experienced its share of losses.

At 5 and 6, KION’s Zach McIntyre explains how they overcame those struggles.

There will be an online auction to support the Sanctuary as a fundraiser for tomorrow’s gala. Click here for more details. There will be more celebration events in the coming days, which you can find by clicking here.
