Imagine an underwater world full of fish of every color, a community built by tiny animals growing over thousands of years. Surrounding this oasis of life is a meadow of seagrasses swaying in the ocean’s currents, protecting the coral reef from harmful nutrients that come from land. As you journey back to shore, you pass through tangled mangrove roots, protecting our coastal communities from damaging storm surges and providing safe havens for baby fish. You return to dry land to find a tropical hammock, a forest unlike anything you’ve ever seen, full of plants and animals not found anywhere else in this country.

“...two amazing parks protecting both land and sea for generations to come”
