Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary is home to critters of all shapes and sizes.

[Two sea lions swim underwater]

Some sanctuary dwellers, like orcas and sea otters are well known.

But beneath the waves live less-known, but equally spectacular, creatures.

[An orange jellyfish with long, red tentacles swims underwater]

[A yellow sea slug sits atop a coral reef]

to sea slugs…

[White mushroom-like anemones attached to coral reefs move with the ocean current]

to sea anemones.

All of these organisms and more call the cold waters of your national marine sanctuary home, and benefit from the sanctuary’s protection.
