Entirely offshore, Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary protects soft
seafloor habitat, a rocky bank, deep-sea canyons, and diverse wildlife, while
acting as a feeding ground for many marine mammals and seabirds. This
protected area is home to several habitats and species that can be visited
from afar through educational resources such as panels and exhibits. Visitors
can enjoy this extraordinarily rich marine ecosystem by boating, fishing, and
watching wildlife from the mainland.
