Many organizations and businesses located in and near sanctuary communities play important roles in the protection of marine resources by promoting sustainable use and responsible recreation and tourism. Likewise, healthy marine protected areas are good for business—people travel from all over the world to visit national marine sanctuaries and enjoy activities such as hiking, whale watching, and fishing—and the money they spend while visiting trickles throughout the local economy. Follow these links for more visitor information on regional tourism organizations. Note that you will be leaving the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary website.
