A reminder, this World Oceans Day and National Ocean Month: some of America's most important national parks are mostly under water. 🌊

🌲Acadia’s rocky tide pools
⛴️ Channel Islands: only reachable by boat
🐠 95% of Biscayne is ocean
☀️ Dry Tortuga’s crystal clear water

National Park Trust works alongside the National Park Service across all of it: shorelines, freshwater rivers, marine sanctuaries. Our 2025 work included a 676-acre acquisition along the Missouri River and ongoing partnership with the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation on programs that bring military families to public water.

Water is land protection too! Learn how to support our work protecting America's parks, on land and water: https://ow.ly/MmuA50Z89ba

National Park Trust helped add another missing piece to our national parks by protecting a historic parcel at Monocacy National Battlefield, home to the Vermont Infantry Regiment Monument.

This project is one of our many preservation efforts that help protect the landscapes, stories, and history that make our national parks so special.

Because protecting parks means protecting the history they hold. ❤️
