Sanctuary Vessels

A fleet of new vessels will debut throughout the National Marine Sanctuary System in 2008, providing greater flexibility, safety and efficiency in the daily operations of sanctuary staff. These new ships will enhance the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries ability to conduct research, monitoring, education, enforcement and emergency response missions as it preserves, protects and manages our sanctuaries now and in the future.
