"Roughly 100 miles off the coast of New York and New Jersey, sperm whales and
sea turtles swim gracefully beneath the waves. Deep-sea corals provide shelter
for octopuses, sea stars, bivalves and many other colorful aquatic life forms.
On the ocean floor, divers explore historic shipwrecks.

Known as Hudson Canyon, this idyllic place could soon become the United States’
newest national marine sanctuary, a protected underwater area similar to a
national park or monument. This summer, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) wants the public to weigh in on whether Hudson Canyon
should become part of the national marine sanctuary system, which includes 17
sites—15 underwater parks and 2 monuments—across the country."
