Mariana Trench National Wildlife Refuge

The remote location and isolation of the Mariana Trench National Wildlife Refuge  make it inaccessible to conduct on-site visits for educational or interpretative purposes. Thus, most educational and interpretative opportunities are necessarily delivered remotely through publications, off-site educational programs, displays, or other media, to inform and educate the public regarding the coral reef ecosystem and related marine resources and species of the monument and efforts to conserve them.  

For a virtual experience visiting the depths of the monument here’s a way to see what the Okeanos captured exploring the Mariana Trench.
