United States President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order in the widest marine sanctuary in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where one of the most vulnerable ecosystems in the world was found.
The sanctuary, known as the Marine Marine Monument of the Pacific Remote Islands, was created in early January 2009 -President George W. Bush and his successor Barack Obama in 2014 expanded extensively.
Currently, it contains more than 1.2 million sq. Km of protective water – the surface of Texas almost twice as much – seven islands and atrols in the Pacific Ocean.
Trade fishing and resource extraction, including mining exploration, are prohibited, but traditional and recreation fishing is allowed.
Trump says commercial fishing to the sanctuary is “not a risk”
According to Donald Trump, the ban on commercial fisheries “makes honest US commercial fishermen a negative of” “fishing from the coast in the international waters, forced to compete with foreign flights with poorly controlled and firmly subsidized.”
In his view, “properly managed commercial fishing does not endanger the objects of the scientific and historical interest protected by the sanctuary”. “
There are many endangered species, including Immaculate coral dunes and some sharks and whales in the sanctuary sea areas.
According to the AFP, it is one of the most pure and harmful tropical sea atmospheres on the planet, in the face of climate change.
With Trump’s decree, some of these zones are open for commercial fishing, increasing the ban on large areas from the islands and make rituals for “US pavilion ships”.
The fishing powers are “issued to foreign pavilion ships to transport fish seized by American fishermen,” the decree said.
In this text, Donald Trump gives his government a “sanctuary to change or withdraw all the compulsory rules that limit commercial fishing in the sanctuary.”
Since returning to the White House, on January 20, the Climate of Climate’s doubtful Republican has been attacking many environmental regulations and adopting a relaxation system to promote the economy, he wrote.
