On the Septermber 12th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about marine sanctuaries. Last month, President Obama created the largest marine protected area on the planet. He expanded the Papahānaumokuākea Marine Monument to include half-a-million-square-miles of waters in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
The designation bans commercial fishing and new mining. What are the impacts of marine sanctuaries? Tweet your questions and comments to @yourcallradio and join us live at 10am with me, Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Robert Richmond, director of the University of Hawaii's Kewalo Marine Laboratory
James Lindholm, James W. Rote Distinguished Professor of Marine Science and Policy in the Division of Science and Environmental Policy at California State University Monterey Bay
