Thanks to all who participated in this very important issue.

We, the undersigned, request President Bush to not utilize the American Antiquities Act of 1906 to create national marine monuments in our coastal and territorial waters.

This proposal will have devastating impact to our economy and undermine the science based management that has already been put in place by the people of the nation and our elected officials. Disallowing the recreational angler is not the answer to saving our oceans.

This petition is now closed.
