US-Präsident Barack Obama kündigte am 17. Juni 2014 zum Anlass einer Ozean-Konferenz in Washington an, seine Exekutivvollmachten für mehrere Massnahmen zu nutzen. So soll im Pazifischen Ozean ein Meeresschutzgebiet auf drei Millionen Quadratkilometer ausgeweitet werden. Neben der Fischerei wären dann auch Öl- oder Gasbohrungen in dem Areal verboten.

On 17 June 2014, President Obama announced a commitment to protect some of the most precious U.S. marine landscapes. The Administration will immediately consider how it might expand protections near the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument in the south-central Pacific Ocean, which contains some of the most pristine tropical marine environments in the world. Obama's proposal would expand the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument in the central Pacific from around 87,000 square miles to nearly 782,000 square miles (225,000 to 2 million square kilometers).
