National Marine Sanctuary Foundation: Funding Saved From Cuts!

Last year, the National Marine Sanctuary System faced massive, proposed budget cuts, endangering our marine wildlife and coastal communities. We needed your voice to tell Congress that our national marine sanctuaries are essential, and you delivered. More than fourteen thousand messages were shared with lawmakers, creating an undeniable tidal wave of support for our marine sanctuaries and the communities that depend on them. Because of your letters, persistence, and the hard work of our policy team, lawmakers held the line on marine sanctuaries funding - no budget cut for Fiscal Year 2026!
