We Must Continue to Act to Protect Our Special Places
- "Our maps of cumulative human impact on these islands [Northwestern Hawaiian Islands National Monument] show that, despite their extreme isolation, humans are already significantly impacting this special place, and that many of the key threats, such as those associated with climate change, are not mitigated with Monument designation. We must continue to act to protect these islands and coral atolls if we hope to preserve them for future generations." - quote from Benjamin S. Halpern; quote appeared in this UnderwaterTimes.com article.
