NOAA and partners are conserving habitat to sustain fisheries, recover protected species, and maintain resilient coastal ecosystems and communities. To help celebrate our work, we asked the public and NOAA staff to submit their photos highlighting four categories of habitats, including coastal wetlands, estuaries and shallow coral reefs.
