Massive Marine Reserve Created In Atlantic (bbc.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The British government has announced that it will create a marine reserve slightly smaller than the UK in the waters off Ascension Island. The South Atlantic reserve totals 234,291 sq km and is being funded with the help of a £300,000 grant from the charitable Bacon Foundation. Charles Clover, Blue Marine Foundation chairman, said: "Ascension has been at the frontiers of science since Charles Darwin went there in the 19th Century, so it is entirely appropriate that it is now at the centre of a great scientific effort to design the Atlantic's largest marine reserve."

And what about the propagandist Fox News, or propagandist MSNBC, or propagandist Sky? Just because you're owned by a private company doesn't mean you can't do propaganda.
