National Marine Sanctuary
Hudson Canyon
About this sanctuary
The area was nominated by the Wildlife Conservation Society, and accepted into the inventory on February 23, 2017 for a five-year period.
Located only 100mi Southeast of the metropolis that is New York City lies the largest canyon in the Atlantic Ocean. Rivaling the vastness of the Grand Canyon by extending about 350mi, 2-2.5mi deep, and up to 7.5mi wide, Hudson Canyon is the latest nomination as a new National Marine Sanctuary.
