The New York Times (and pretty much every other media outlet) reported yesterday: "President Bush will designate vast tracts of American-controlled Pacific Ocean islands, reefs, surface waters and sea floor as marine national monuments on Tuesday, limiting fishing, mining, oil exploration or other commercial activity..." Which is funny because we were just talking about the brutal death coral the other day. Maybe he was reading EIGN.
It's a pretty big amount of land. But this doesn't quite make up for all the other shit Bush has done to the environment over the last 8 years.
Which reminds me; GNW XXX(b): T-minus 12 days.
