The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument will protect a pristine underwater area that is home to rare species including sea turtles and endangered whales. "This decision is going to protect one of the most fragile deep-sea ecosystems in the Atlantic. There are species of marine life found in this area that don't exist anywhere else in the world, and that's something worth saving." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
