Gear caught on the underwater wrecks could "cause serious damage to shipwrecks that have historical significance," NOAA said.
There are more than 200 wrecks in the sanctuary, according to NOAA, which specifically mentioned the World War II minesweeper USS Heroic, the trawler Josephine Marie and the 55-foot North Star, along with eight unnamed ships with their coordinates.
