Joe Biden on Tuesday issued a Presidential Memo directing the Secretary of Commerce to consider designating about 777,000 miles in the Pacific Ocean as a new national marine sanctuary.
“That would make it the largest ocean area on the planet with the highest level of protection.” Biden said.
“The plan includes offshore wind farming, land and water conservation and a strategy for reducing international shipping emissions.” NPR reported.
The White House also released its first US Ocean Climate Change Action Plan (Communism) on Tuesday.
“Today, we’re releasing the first ever United States Ocean Climate Action Plan to harness the tremendous power of the ocean to help in our fight against the climate crisis,” Biden said on Tuesday at the White House Conservation in Action Summit.
