Whats up down under? Discovering banks and seamounts in the national marine sanctuaries
Date/Time: Thursday, August 5, 2021 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM EDT
Cordell Bank, Stellwagen Bank, 5 Fathom Bank, Flower Garden Banks…. these are not places with ATMS and bank tellers, these are some phenomenal ocean and Great Lakes treasures that rise up from the seafloor/lakebed and provide wondrous habitats. For Get into your Sanctuary Day, we will reveal these hidden, yet “solid,” investments within national marine sanctuaries, highlight how they formed, and why banks and seamounts are incredible investments in biodiversity, not to mention how fabulous they are for exploration.. Join us on a regional tour to compare and contrast these sanctuary features. You’re sure to leave with gratitude for the protection of these banks.
