MEDIA

We will cheerfully help reporters, journalists, book authors, photographers, etc. any way we can in your efforts to produce engaging, accurate stories about the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary! If you have questions, we will do our best to provide accurate answers in a timely manner. If you need ideas for a story, we're happy to oblige. While we try to accomodate requests for print quality still images, please understand that most of the images we use in our education and outreach products are donated by professional photographers and we are not authorized to share their work with other entities. We will, however, be happy to provide you with contact information of individual photographers who produce quality images of the sanctuary. While we do have some excellent public domain video footage, staff availability may affect our response time - the more time you can give us to provide footage, the more likely you are to receive it before your deadline!
For help with your work, contact the sanctuary office at (409) 621-5151, x106, or email Shelley.Dupuy@noaa.gov
