Protecting the Special Places in the SeaWorld-scale marine reserves — places where no fishing or other extractive activity is allowed — protect our global marine heritage for future generations and celebrate our shared ocean legacy. Building on the historic precedent of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, designated as the largest marine reserve in the world in 2006 and the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument and other marine monuments in the U.S. Pacific Islands in 2009, our aim — over the five year life of the project — is to establish three to five world-class, no-take marine reserves that will provide ecosystem-scale benefits and help conserve our global marine heritage. | |
