Thank you President Bush.



Editorial -- George W. Bush Becomes the Ocean Conservation President. - washingtonpost.com: "The ecosystems and geological formations that will now be protected from exploitation or disturbance will preserve the environment and some species that are disappearing in other parts of the world. Equally important, the national monuments will provide a platform for scientific discovery, particularly as the impact of climate change on the oceans becomes more apparent. 'These locations are truly among the last pristine environments on Earth,' Mr. Connaughton said. And thanks to Mr. Bush's action today, they will remain that way."
