These two sites, which are designated Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Sites) like the bay, have been stressed in the past, but now enjoy special protection under the marine sanctuary aegis. We are working dynamically to restore damaged but still extraordinarily important habitats and prevent further impacts. Your "working every day" concept is vital to this effort. Thank you for focusing on the long-term picture.
