Fagatele Bay

From NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries:

Welcome to Fagatele Bay! At just .25 square miles, this tiny bay on the island of Tutuila in#AmericanSamoa was once our smallest national marine #sanctuary, but also one of the most biologically diverse, featuring an incredible array of#coral species and other creatures like this #clownfishand #anemone. In 2012, NOAA expanded the sanctuary to include several additional protected areas (Fagalua/Fogama’a, Rose Atoll, and Aunu’u, Ta’u and Swains islands), bringing its total area to more than 13,500 square miles!
