President Clinton announced the creation of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Reserve, the largest U S nature preserve at 84 million acres underwater around the northwestern islands. The 99 500 square nautical mile reserve protects about 70 percent of U S coral reefs and bans oil and gas exploration and seabed alterations. Tammy Leilani Harp praised the plan, while critics from Hawaii’s fishing industry warned of economic impacts.
