The first week of May is always very special to our team at NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. This week, we celebrate #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek, which honors the contributions of federal, state, county, and local government employees throughout the United States. 

NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries serves as the trustee for a network of underwater parks encompassing more than 600,000 square miles of marine and Great Lakes waters. The network includes a system of 15 national marine sanctuaries and Papahānaumokuākea and Rose Atoll marine national monuments. 

Our team is made up of a dedicated and diverse group of scientists, researchers, divers, communicators, conservation specialists, administrative workers, sanctuary employees, and so many more talented professionals. Thank you to all of those who have made, and continue to make, NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries the notable and resourceful system it is today. Happy #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek!
