Worlds Largest Single Marine Reserve Created in Pacific

Posted on by

British Prime Minister David Cameron's government announced the creation of the worlds largest contiguous ocean reserve on Wednesday, setting aside 322,000 square miles (830,000 square kilometers) around the remote Pitcairn Islands in the South Pacific for special protection.

The new reserve is nearly three and a half times bigger than the landmass of the United Kingdomlarger than the state of Californiaand is home to a stunning array of sharks, fish, corals, and other marine life, says Enric Sala, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence who led a five-week Pristine Seas expedition to the island group in March 2012 that helped establish a scientific case for the reserve. (Explore Enric's posts from the field.)

Announced via the government's 2015 budget, the reserve represents a bid by the U.K. to thwart the illegal fishing that threatens the species in its territorial waters. No fishing or seafloor mining will be allowed in the reserve, except for traditional fishing around the island of Pitcairn by the local population, says Sala.

The reserve's creation is dependent on partnerships with non-governmental organizations and satellite monitoring resources, according to the budget. Those resources are already in place, says Sala.

Thirty percent of the U.K.s waters around the world are now protected, the highest percentage of any countrys waters on Earth. Although the new reserve will become the largest single marine protected area anywhere, the network of reserves created around the Pacific remote islands by the U.S. in September is bigger in total, at nearly 490,000 square miles (1,270,000 square kilometers). (Learn about how large marine reserves are protected.)

People know Pitcairn because of the Mutiny on the Bounty, but their real bounty is the rich marine life underwater, says Sala.

About 60 people live on Pitcairn Island, most of them descendants of the Bounty mutineers from 1790 and their Tahitian companions. In September 2012, in response to the expedition, the Pitcairn Council voted unanimously to create a marine protected area in their entire economic zone, which extends 200 miles (322 kilometers) out from their four islands, three of which are uninhabited. Since the islands are administered by the U.K. as a territory, the new reserve required the support of the British government.

SUPPORT NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

Pitcairns waters contain some of the few pristine coral reefs left on the planet, says Sala. They also contain intact seamounts [submerged mountains] and deep-sea habitats that have not been touched by trawling and which harbor many species yet to be discovered by science.

On the 2012 expedition, Sala and his team discovered several new species of fish by dropping cameras into deep water. A larger effort is likely to discover hundreds of new animals there, he says. (See photos from Sala's expedition showing life on Pitcairn today.)

The Ministry of Defence was under fire after vital details of the RAF's main base on the Falklands Islands were published on their website.

The secret document, which has the exact GPS co-ordinates of vital facilities as well as information on the depth of concrete on the runway were published unencrypted on the MoD's website.

The details could be used as 'an invasion guide' by Argentina, with the technical information providing excellent intelligence to any Argentine bombers sent to attack the islands.

The Falklands Islands are defended by a squadron of RAF Typhoon aircraft operating from Mount Pleasant aerodrome on West Falkland, supported by a refueling tanker to extend their operational area

Delaware Family Sickened at Virgin Islands Resort

Posted on by

A criminal investigation is underway after a family of four was sickened following a fumigation at a Virgin Islands resort, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The EPA was notified on March 20 that a family staying at Sirenusa Resort in Cruz Bay in St. John, became ill and had been hospitalized following a fumigation in a room at the resort two days earlier, the agency said in a statement released March 23.

The EPA is investigating whether the chemical that was used during the fumigation was methyl bromide a toxic chemical that is restricted in the U.S., the statement said.

Inhalation of the odorless chemical "may be fatal or cause serious acute illness or delayed lung or nervous system injury," according to the EPA.

The Delaware couple and their two teenage sons were hospitalized in Philadelphia. Stephen Esmond, the father, is the headmaster of a Delaware middle school and his wife, Dr. Theresa Devine, is a dentist, according to NBC Philadelphia.

Devine had been discharged as of Monday, and Esmond is in stable condition, according to the family's attorney and spokesman, James J. Maron. The two teenage boys are still in critical condition, but the family is "hopeful for a full recovery," Maron said.

"The EPA is continuing to work with the U.S. Virgin Islands government and others to gather information and will ensure that appropriate steps are taken if it determines any environment regulations or laws were violated," the EPA said.

Mary Mears, an EPA spokeswoman, told NBC News that the investigation was still being conducted Monday.

Sea Glass Vacations, the rental agency for Sirenusa, said in a statement that the room below where the family stayed from March 14 to March 22 had been "recently" fumigated by the extermination company, Terminix.

"Sea Glass Vacations does not treat the units it manages for pests but instead relies on licensed professionals for pest control services," the statement said.
