One Year of Earth Is Blue

When astronauts – like NOAA’s own administrator, Dr. Kathryn Sullivan – first went to space, they realized that Earth isn’t green; it’s blue. Our ocean covers 71 percent of the Earth’s surface and serves as the life support system for the entire planet. Through the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, we work to protect our nation’s special underwater places. This year they’ve been bringing you amazing images and video everywhere from American Samoa to New England through #EarthIsBlue.
