[Leica] More on Kiribati . . .

I couldn't help noticing tha National Georgraphic reports the following:

The Republic of Kiribati in the South Pacific has designated an enormous
swath of Pacific atolls, coral reefs, and deep ocean to become one of the
world's largest marine reserves. The Phoenix Islands Protected Area
safeguards some of the planet's most pristine coral reef ecosystems. The new
marine park is the world's third largest, topped only by Australia's Great
Barrier Reef and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.  The protected region
spans some 73,800 square miles (184,700 square kilometers)?a stretch of
ocean twice the size of Portugal?and includes eight virtually uninhabited
coral atolls.

Underwater housings anyone?
