Government Creates Ascension Island Marine Reserve
GREEN TURTLE Chelonius mydas female in morning light after laying eggs on beach Ascension Island.
The British government and conservation groups have announced the creation of a marine wildlife reserve almost the size of the UK near the tiny Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean.
The island, which is a British Overseas Territory with a population of around 900, is surrounded by ocean teeming with wildlife - as the BBC reports, the new reserve is home to some of the world's largest marlin, as well as one of the biggest populations of green turtles and a host of tropical bird colonies.
The introduction of the new reserve will mean around 2 per cent of the world's oceans will be covered by conservation zones - that's a long way from the 20 to 30 per ent recommended by scientists in the 2003 Durban Action Plan, but it's a large increase compared to just a few years ago.
The total area of the reserve is around 90,460 square miles - slightly less than that of the UK, which is around 94,000 square miles. (FOTO: DUKAS/PHOTOSHOT)

PINK ANEMONEFISH on anemone Amphiprion perideraion Palau, South Pacific
The Pacific island nation of Palau has become home to the sixth largest marine sanctuary in the world.
The Micronesian reserve, now the largest in the Pacific, will permit no fishing or mining. Palau also established the world's first shark sanctuary in 2009.
The tiny island nation has set aside 500,000 square kilometres -- 80 percent -- of its maritime territory, for full protection. That's the highest percentage of an exclusive economic zone devoted to marine conservation by any country in the world. (FOTO: DUKAS/PHOTOSHOT)
