very interesting (and correct)that no current threats from fishing activities are listed. I’d like to see more info about the “depleted species” in that area, as I believe there are only 5 (out of @ 300).

Also interesting is the difference between this Sanctuary and The Monterey Bay NMS, just a few miles south. The MBNMS is cliaming that it has a “Need” for Sanctuary marine protected areas (read: more zoning), despite the fact that over 70% of the MBNMS is already in fishing-restricted MPA status. And, there is no evidence that overfishing is occurring, or that the ecosystem isn’t functioning as it should.
I think that NOAA/Sanctuary program needs to get it’s act together.

Although you’ve written this with a clear purpose in mind – it’s once again evident that you either didn’t understand the serious objections of the opposition group to Cape Wind – or you simply find it unserving to repeat them here for readers to consider. “NIMBY” works for you and other proponents every time in another dose of weak journalism. When – in fact – we as residents of this area entrusted with the care and future of Nantucket Sound – an American Treasure – have offered the developer our complete collaboration for placing these turbines precisely in our “back yard”. We, the residents of Cape Cod have offered our “back yards” for wind turbines – in exchange for the preservation of Nantucket Sound and the elimination of his threat to build 130 turbines, 440 feet tall, over a 25 sq mi area in the middle of the Sound. As one activist frequently says: Cape Wind in the wrong step in the right direction.

Good article; I agree completely. I was in Saipan and Guam before designation and heard the testimony of many local people including fishermen who were opposed to having their waters wrested away from them forever, to no avail. To me it smacks of imperialism. Also, according to the Pew website they have $5.9 billion and in their Environment Group alone have 115 employees listed, i.e. they are powerful beyond belief AND can push their agenda hard!

Sounds like the usual load of government / UN-promoted ecological bullshit. They don’t care about the oceans – they only care about limiting people’s activities. Look up Local Agenda 21 for more on this dastardly initiative. Wake up, folks! Your government is no longer “of the people, by the people, for the people.”
