New California Marine Santuary

The World

Claire Greene reports on the creation of what will soon be the nation’s largest marine sanctuary, centered around California’s Monterey Bay.

The dedication of the sanctuary this fall will cap a 15-year effort, and may be a feather in the environmental cap of President Bush.
