Midway Atoll is a major rookery for white
terns, albatross and several other species of birds. In a landmark
effort for habitat preservation, President Bush recently declared
the atoll part of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands National Monument,
the world's largest marine preserve. While many applaude the effort,
critics say that its too little, too late for much of the ocean environment.
