Tell President Biden: Expand Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument

Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument needs your help.

Amazing creatures, from sea turtles to manta rays, call this vibrant area their home. Encompassing nearly 500,000 square miles, seven islands, atolls and their surrounding waters, the region's monument status is a great boon for its marine life. Yet, there are still parts of this critical ecosystem open to destructive activities like deep sea mining and commercial fishing.

To keep the Monument's coral reefs and deep aquatic havens safe, we need to extend its protections against human development to the edge of our national waters around all of the seven islands and atolls.

Mr. President, you have the ability to permanently safeguard these areas from exploitation by increasing their protected ranges to the maximum 200 nautical miles offshore, keeping even more fragile ecosystems and wildlife safe from harm. With your leadership, we can preserve the Pacific Remote Islands for generations to come.
