The only problem with protecting the oceans in this way is that a great deal of the damage is being caused by terrestrial industries. Farming can be especially bad if the fertilizers are allowed to run into local waterways and out into the seas. The large amounts of nitrates and other nutrients causes algae blooms which suck up all the oxygen for hundreds of kilometers, killing everything.

If he really wanted to protect the oceans, he'd enact stricter environmental regulations on industry. You won't see that from a neo-con though, moron or not.

He’s still a moron. Doesn’t he realize that the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts he weakened have a direct negative effect on the oceans he “cares” so deeply for.
Sorry W. After 8 long years, you will leave office with no positive impacts on our country or the world.

He is merely following the pattern of the Presidents. Near the end of their terms they create a bunch of physical stuff (reserves, parks, monuments) in an attempt to ensure their legacy.
