Marine National Monuments

When Jean-Michel Cousteau came to give a presentation at Nightlife this spring, we had the great opportunity to interview him for Science in Action.
Because of his work to help establish the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument in 2006, we thought this would be a good subject to have him discuss. California Academy of Sciences researchers were instrumental in the monuments declared earlier this year and we wanted to do a story on it.
These designations, covering over 325,000 square miles of ocean, represent former President Bush’s so-called Blue Legacy. A very surprising legacy, indeed.
