L’administration Biden wants to protect “the deepest Atlantic canyon in the United States”. At least that’s what she has announced on June 8World Oceans Day, explain it Washington Post. Hudson Canyon’s underwater gorge rivals Colorado’s Grand Canyon in size. He should become “a national marine sanctuary”which would allow it to benefit from the same protection as a national park.
Hundreds of species of fish, endangered species of sperm whale, sea turtles or even coral… The Hudson Canyon is home to “an ecosystem teeming with wildlife” 100 miles from New York City, explains the American title. It could thus become “a refuge for marine species threatened by global warming”.
The Biden administration’s initiative reflects “its more global action”explains the English-language daily, which should “protect 30% of national territorial waters by 2030”.
