Bush signs into law protection of sea monument
Updated
The signing of the Antiquities act by President Bush has created what is now been labelled the "largest area of protected sea in the world". Half-a-million square kilometres of ocean and sea floor, including the world's deepest section of ocean, the Marianas Trench, will be protected from commercial fishing and mining. So what is the response to the creation of these national monuments?
