We want to give a huge thanks to everyone who attended Think and Green Drink event last Thursday! We had over 50 guests who spent time learning about Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary, speaking with Dr. Gleason about reef ecology, and meeting new and familiar faces. We had a fin-tastic time and can’t wait to host more community programming!

ACTION ALERT! Tell Congress to Fund our National Marine Sanctuaries! Our national marine sanctuaries - including Gray's Reef - are essential, and they need proper funding and staff support. RIGHT NOW: Congress is deciding our government’s budget. The funding they allocate for our national marine sanctuaries determines our ability to continue our critical work of protecting precious natural resources and wildlife. Marine sanctuaries anchor marine and coastal economies, jobs, and advance American prosperity and community health. Emailing your lawmakers takes just a minute of your time, but shows them that national marine sanctuaries are important to you and your community.

Next up for our Gray's Reef staff spotlight is our Outreach and Social Media Specialist, Danielle! She’s responsible for running the sanctuary's social media and website, as well as coordinating outreach events and running the volunteer program. She has a huge passion for communicating science and fostering stewardship for our ocean ecosystems. Danielle’s favorite marine animal is the Manta Ray! As a previous dive instructor in Hawaii, she had the incredible opportunity to see the gentle giants on a daily basis. She even gave us a fun fact: Manta Rays have no teeth or stingers! Even her joke revolves around them: Why did the Manta Ray want to talk to the diver? He wanted to have a manta-man conversation! ??

It might not be summer yet, but that didn’t stop the crew from setting sail on the R/V GANNET for Training Day! Our Gray's Reef Captain and Operations Intern received vital training such as fire safety and man overboard drills to prepare for the sanctuary's scientific research expeditions and teacher workshops.

Some positive news to start the day! The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation was able to help remove a derelict vessel that been on the shore of a California beach for close to 10 years. Our team across the sanctuary system focuses on marine debris removal as one of our priority areas. Check out the ABC7 news clip!
See our team in action on ABC7 News! As part of an unprecedented large #MarineDebris removal effort across several national marine sanctuaries, this week we are removing a derelict vessel left as a hazard on a popular California beach since 2016. ? The removal of the Verna provides a cleaner and safer shore before the busy summer tourism season! ? Marine debris is one of the greatest challenges facing our global ocean and the waterways that lead to it. Large marine debris items, such as abandoned and derelict vessels, threaten marine wildlife and sensitive habitat and create safety and navigational hazards for recreation, tourism, and fishing. ? This work is made possible thanks to a partnership with the NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration Marine Debris Program, Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries, and California State Parks.
