This month marks the 40th anniversary of the signing of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act, which created our nation's national marine sanctuary system. What are sanctuaries? How do these special areas help to protect and conserve our ocean? Our latest podcast features a NOAA Ocean Today video to put this milestone in perspective.http://go.usa.gov/YbKG

NOAA Ocean Today continues to bring you videos that cover a wide variety of topics written in manner understandable to students and adults. Our latest video discusses the recent analysis on the loss of Arctic sea ice.  According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, the summer sea ice minimum extent has dropped to its smallest size in recorded history. It’s now 3.41 million square kilometers or 1.32 million square miles. 

The coverage of sea ice was relatively stable from 1979 – 2000, but has since been reduced by nearly 50%. Watch our latest 'Happening Now' video that discusses the loss of summer sea

 ice cover as one of the the most visible warning signs of severe climate change.

How much do you know about NOAA’s navigation services? In the latest episode of Making Waves, Dr. Holly Bamford, National Ocean Service Deputy Assistant Administrator, talks about ‘positioning America for the future,’ an effort to focus NOS navigation services on upcoming challenges as maritime commerce increases, coastal populations grow, sea levels rise, and new navigation routes open up in the Arctic.
