"The proposal would expand the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument in the central Pacific from around 87,000 square miles to nearly 782,000 square miles (225,000 to 2 million square kilometers).

It would make the monument the largest protected area on the planet—either on land or in the sea—and two times larger than the currently largest protected area, which is in Greenland. The sanctuary would cover the full 200-mile (322-kilometer) U.S. exclusive economic zone around seven uninhabited islands and atolls."

What’s with the NOAA nomination process? nominate.noaa.gov/

I’d rather fill out a nomination form or petition directly with the government, rather than a 3rd party site. Do you have the details on how we do that?
