To US President Obama:

As global concerned citizens we urge you to expand the Pacific Remote Island Monument, and all its protections from extractive activities, to the full 200-nautical-mile limit of US jurisdiction.By creating the world's largest ocean sanctuary, you will not only preserve one of the richest collections of coral reef, seabird, and shorebird areas on Earth, but also contribute to protect our oceans for generations to come.

An ocean of hope
President Obama wants to create an ocean of hope in the Pacific: the world’s largest protected conservation area. And right now we can give him the wave of support he needs to push ahead with the plan.

Obama could use his Presidential powers to massively expand the pristine Pacific Remote Island sanctuary, but large-scale fisheries and cynical members of Congress are doing everything they can to stop him. The President has opened up a period of public consultation to hear from both sides - and it ends next week: this is the world’s chance to ask the President to stand up for our oceans and expand the sanctuary as far as possible!

Four years ago, 221,000 of us helped convince the UK to create a massive marine conservation zone bigger than Germany and Italy put together. Now we can do it again - sign the petition calling on Obama to stand tall and we’ll deliver it straight to the White House!
