WORLD'S LARGEST MARINE SANCTUARY
The United States announced in September 2014 the creation of the world's largest marine sanctuary in the Pacific, where commercial fishing and energy exploration are off limits. The move expands the already existing Pacific Remote Islands Marina National Monument west of Ha wai and northeast of Australia to six times its previous size. The area will be protected in perpetuity from commercial fishing and other resource extraction activities.
