<p>In this episode, we travel to Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. Boasting rugged coastlines and encompassing over 3,000 square miles, this special place is home to a rich abundance of marine mammals, seabirds, fish, and invertebrate communities. We explore this area’s origins, maritime culture, and historical legacy, as well as ways you can dive into all our sanctuaries. Our featured expert is Chris Butler-Minor, a community engagement specialist with NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries.</p> <p> <a href=“https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/podcast/july24/nop76-sanctuary-olympic-coast.html">Episode permanent link, transcript, and show notes</a></p>
