The area is protected by the United States Navy, so I think not.

Nah, if there's anything America has been careful to maintain it's overwhelmingly excessive amounts of disrespectful levels of disgusting quantities of military spending. That's not even including the secret side funding they can't disclose for "national security" reasons.

“Overwhelmingly excessive amounts of disrespectful levels of disgusting quantities of military spending”

Just use one adjective, if any. Your statement would be more impactful as “excessive military spending”.

Isn't this the massive area that George Bush protected as a park just as he left office?

If so, great!

That was my thought too, so I looked it up, and the answer is yes indeed! As strange as it is to hear me say this, thank you GW Bush.

PS: Clinton helped

It is amazing to me how quickly fish stocks bounce back. We should be constantly doing this on a rotating basis. It would actually help the industry.

Well considering this area belongs to the US/Hawaii and contains many land masses, it’s a slightly different story to an area 120 times larger belonging to dozens of nations with varying attitudes to this sort of thing.

Bit more difficult to police.

Quick, get the fishing boats there! We don't have much time to deplete the fish populations.
