You probably should look at the MPA process as what your talking about already exists, and it was not created during the Obama Administration but went forward during the Bush administration.

Bush loved MPAs: He worked with Groups like the Ocean Conservancy and created the largest MPAs on the planet.



That area is now all closed to fishing.

You might want to note the the rationalization for that massive closure was seal protection.

Bush couldn't even wait for the MPA process to go through the proper public hearings etc...

He feared it would be held up till the next administration, so he stepped in and staged an intervention and directly signed the reserve into existence with a Presidential decree, a proclamation to create the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument on June 15, 2006.

Your post is not really equal or nonpartisan, why pretend otherwise? You can't mitigate an attack by adding "I am equally dissapointed" at the end of it, after directing your attack at only one side.
