George Bush ocean conservation plans???

[shinek]

George Bush is not particularly well known for his environmental efforts, so I thought this article might be of interest.

Here's the first paragraph, click on the URL for the rest.

President Bush's vision for protecting two vast areas of the Pacific Ocean from fishing and mineral exploitation, a move that would constitute a major expansion of his environmental legacy, is running into dogged resistance both inside and outside the White House and has placed his wife and his vice president on opposite sides of the issue.

Thanks for the interesting link.

Since the link can be political in nature, the thread will be moved to the beefs forum if it devolves into politics.

I know people can get a little emotional about such topics, so if it "devolves" too far, just close it. I just thought it was an interesting topic and not one I'd seen much coverage on.
