These zones include undersea volcanoes, hot seafloor vents, submarine pools of sulphur and the Marianas Trench &#8212; the deepest area of ocean on the planet. The move also will protect the Marianas island group, including Saipan and Tinian, which played significant roles during the Second World War.<\/p>\n<p>\nJames Connaughton, president George W Bush&#8217;s environmental advisor, said the decision meant that the United   States was &quot;setting the mark for the world with respect to effective marine management&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile welcoming the protection package, environmental activists said that without addressing the root causes of global warming, such as greenhouse-gas emissions, other measures would be meaningless. Brendan Cummings, oceans programme director at the Center for Biological Diversity, said: &quot;Ultimately, Bush&#8217;s legacy as a climate criminal will far outweigh his ocean legacy, as any benefit coral reefs receive from this monument designation will be bleached away by warming seas&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>See<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/sci\/tech\/7812786.stm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> full story<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States is to create what it calls &quot;the largest area of protected sea in the world&quot; around its Pacific island territories, the BBC reported.
