What's Underwater?*
Stellwagen Bank was designated a National Marine Sanctuary in 1992
by Congress and is located about 25 miles east of Boston, on
an underwater plateau at the mouth of Massachusetts Bay.
The area was formed by glacial retreat and was above sea level
until about 12,000 years ago, when the glaciers melted and the bank
was submerged beneath the sea.

Stellwagen Bank is historically a rich and productive
fishing ground, especially for ground fish species such as cod,
haddock and flounder, although larger fish, such as bluefin tuna
and sharks,
have been caught in the area as well. In the past half century,
the area has become well known for whale watching.
|
Regularly seen species are the humpback
whale, fin whale, minke whale, northern right whale, Atlantic white-sided
dolphin, harbor porpoise, pilot whale and harbor seal.
