(4)national parks The designation of an areas a marine sanctuary indicates that it is a protected area, just as a national park is People are permitted to visit and observe there, but living organisms and their environments may not be harmed or removed
The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a branch of the United States Department of Commerce Initially, 70 sites were proposed as candidates for sanctuary status Two and a half decades later, only fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half of these established after 1978 They range in size from the very small (less than I square kilometer) Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa to the
Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in California, extending over 15,744 square kilometers
The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a crucial part of new management practices in which whole communities of species, and not just individual species, are offered some degree of protection from habitat degradation and overexploitation Only in this way can a reasonable degree of marine species diversity be maintained in a setting that also maintains the natural interrelationships that exist among these species
Several other types of marine protected areas exist in the United States and other countries The National Estuarine Research Reserve System, managed by the United States government, includes 23 designated and protected estuaries Outside the United States, marine protected-area programs exist as marine parks, reserves, and preserves Over 100 designated areas exist around the periphery of the Caribbean Sea Others range from the well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to lesser-known parks in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures on fragile coral reef systems As state, national, and international agencies come to recognize the importance of conserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas whether as sanctuaries, parks, or estuarine reserves, will play an increasingly important role in preserving that diversity
