Marine mammals and habitat are able to thrive in the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Monument thanks to the conservation efforts. Now, imagine if we could do the same across all our oceans. | NRDC

Seamounts, also known as underwater mountains, are crucial to the health of our oceans and marine life. Research shows that when more seamounts are clustered together, more marine mammals like whales are drawn to the area. Why? Because seamounts are rich in biodiversity, creating ideal feeding grounds. Protecting seamounts means protecting whales and the entire marine ecosystem! | Oceana Canada
