Established in 1992, the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary spans the mouth of Massachusetts Bay, east of Boston. This Atlantic Ocean reserve is dedicated to protecting a diverse marine ecosystem. The sanctuary is a critical stop for migrating whales and other sea life, making it a prime destination for whale-watching boat trips from Boston. Visitors can experience the thrill of observing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, surrounded by the vast, open waters of the sanctuary.
