US president Barak Obama has quadrupled the size of the Hawaiian Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument to 1.5 million square kilometres, more than twice the size of Texas. It is now the world largest national park. In the marine reserve commercial fishing and new mining is banned. It means the protection of an ecologically important area.
