In this episode, we hear four stories about the work that goes into preserving National Marine Sanctuaries, which are underwater parks that protect America's natural and cultural marine resources. These stories, part of the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries' InchInto the BlueInch series, feature people and organizations who are doing amazing and innovative things to help make the world a better place and show that anyone can be a marine steward.

The earth's oceans are home to thousands of species of marine life, from tiny plankton to enormous humpback whales. The Great Lakes' contain more than six thousand shipwrecks - important pieces of history kept preserved in their icy waters. These waters are also the heart of many human communities, from native communities that have depended on the ocean for centuries; to vacationers who use the water to dive, surf and fish; to scientists who study marine life. In this Into the Outdoors episode we see how National Marine Sanctuary designations across the country are protecting and preserving these precious natural resources.
