In celebration of the 2021 Get Into Your Sanctuary and Monuments Day, Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, invite you to a special seabird event. Author, artist, and conservationist Caren Loebel-Fried will read her wonderful book “A Perfect Day for an Albatross” and then share about her recent trip to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, the largest albatross colony in the world. NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries' educators Jenny Stock and Andy Collins will talk about the seabirds found in Cordell Bank, California and Papahānaumokuākea in Hawaiʻi, and highlight some of these amazing seabirds that fly thousands of miles between the two sites. Finally, we will share some educational resources for teaching about albatross and how you can help these unique ocean wanderers.
