Important marine mammal area
Do you know that there are some places in our oceans that are really special for animals that live there, like whales, dolphins, seals, and sea turtles? We call these places "important marine mammal areas" or IMMA for short.
Just like how you have your favorite playground to hang out with your friends, these IMMA places are important for these animals because they have everything they need there, like food, shelter, and safety.
Now, scientists and people who care about animals have identified and mapped these IMMA places all around the world, so that we can make sure that humans don't hurt these special places with pollution, noise, or overfishing.
By protecting these IMMA places, we can help keep these amazing animals happy and healthy, and ensure that they can continue to live and thrive in our oceans for generations to come.
