To celebrate and promote the 50th Anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, NOAA Fisheries West Coast asks our Instagram audience to tag our account @noaafisherieswestcoast in a picture of themselves and choose 1-2 endangered or threatened species on the West Coast. Our staff will redraw participants in a doodle with their ocean creatures.
The project aims to promote the ESA 50th while encouraging the audience to learn more about ESA-listed species in a memorable way, making a difficult topic like endangered species accessible and captivating through art, and engaging both our Instagram audience and our staff.
