Marine Protected Areas
Now that you have explored the fourteen marine protected areas in the United States, revisit NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries website and select one of the protected areas. Pretend that a movie studio has made a documentary, or informational movie, about the sanctuary that you selected and that they have contacted you to design the front cover for the DVD.

- A catchy and descriptive title for the movie
- The name of the marine sanctuary
- The location of the marine sanctuary
- Two images relevant to the sanctuary

Your DVD cover should be attractive and well-organized because you want people to view the movie.
