Bush creates new marine sanctuary

US President George W Bush has designated a swathe of Hawaiian islands as a US national monument, making them the world's largest marine sanctuary.

He signed a law on Thursday which will give the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands the highest protected status in US law.

I think its major news that's under reported. It certainly improved my view of President Bush a great deal

I'm not sure what I think about it yet. On one hand I'm really glad that the area's protected, on the other hand I wonder just how good a job they'll do on protection. I'm going to be optimistic though and hope that they do their job right and we truly do preserve the area.
