Twenty years after the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS)'s designation as one of the nation's largest marine sanctuaries, the MBNMS Sanctuary Exploration Center opened as a new state-of-the art visitor center in Santa Cruz. Overlooking the ocean, the Sanctuary Exploration Center is located in the heart of the Santa Cruz's famed beach area just steps away from the city's Municipal Wharf. The center features engaging interactive and multi-media exhibits to help visitors explore the sanctuary's remarkable marine environment, as well as their personal role in protecting this special underwater treasure.
