- An executive order issued by President Trump opens the Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument to commercial fishing and allows industrial activity there for the first time in more than a decade.
- George W. Bush established the monument in 2009, and Barack Obama expanded it in 2014 to its current size of nearly 500,000 square miles.
- A second executive order directs the Commerce Department to loosen regulations described as overly burdensome for fishing, aquaculture and fish-processing industries, and asks the Interior Department to review all marine monuments.
- Environmentalists warned that the move would seriously threaten fragile ecosystems, while Trump said Pacific island communities had been denied fertile fishing grounds and fishermen had to travel four to seven days to reach grounds outside the protected area.
The United States should be the world's dominant seafood leader.— President Donald Trump; in remarks accompanying the executive order opening the Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument.
