Marine Sanctuaries Have Multiple Benefits

"Both the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary (GFNMS) and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary (CBNMS) were established in the 1980s to protect and preserve California's extraordinary marine environment and wildlife. Centered along an important upwelling area, the sanctuaries are able to support important commercial and recreational fisheries, tourism and recreation industries, and coastal economies and communities." - excerpt from letter to Senator Barbara Boxer and Representative Lynn Woolsey signed by John Laird, Secretary of Natural Resources.
