Trump Administration opens Atlantic's only Marine Monument to commercial fishing: Called the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, the area teems with ocean life, including overwintering Atlantic Puffins.

TLDR; On Friday President Trump announced that he would open the Atlantic Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Monument, a vital source of food for seabirds and where Atlantic Puffins overwinter, to commercial fishing. Declared a monument in 2016 by President Obama, the area covers 4,913 square miles of ocean habitat. Below the surface, a fantastical landscape of underwater mountains, gaping gorges, and deep-water coral reefs supports all manner of ocean life. The rollback is a double whammy for Atlantic Puffins. Not only does lifting fishing restrictions threaten their summer food supply, but the birds spend the winter months within the monument's borders.
