Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary |
Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary covers over 3,300-square miles of marine waters off the Olympic Peninsula coastline. The sanctuary provides habitat for one of the most diverse marine mammal faunas in North America. Three national wildlife refuges are located within the sanctuary, which protect over 800 offshore rocks, seastacks, and islands. The sanctuary also includes traditional fishing areas for four coastal Indian tribes: Makah Nation, Quileute Tribe, Hoh River Native American Tribe, Quinault Indian Nation.
Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary provides a living laboratory for studying the marine environment.
