Chile opened the Our Ocean conference by declaring a 630,000sq km sanctuary around Easter Island in the Pacific off its eastern coast. The area is a source of food in the vast expanse of the ocean, a spawning ground for tuna, shark, marlin and swordfish and a food source for the Rapa Nui people of the island. It joins reserves declared by the US, Britain and New Zealand off the US Pacific Islands, Pitcairn and the Kermadecs as areas protected from the depredations of unregulated fishing. President Michelle Bachelet announced the plan to warm applause from international delegates and a traditional Rapa Nui song. We commit to the creation of protected areas around the Rapa Nui islands, said the Socialist leader, using the territorys Polynesian name. Charitable institutions the Pew Charitable Trusts and The Bertarelli Foundation welcomed the decision, which they said would protect 27 exquisite endangered species and also the people who fish there. Joshua Reichert of Pew said: The Easter Island park protects one of the last nearpristine ocean wildernesses on Earth and one that holds great cultural, religious and economic importance to the Rapa Nui people. Chile is hosting Our Ocean in the picturesque Pacific port city of Valparaiso, a second annual daylong get-together for states and foundations to pledge support for the marine ecosystem. US President Barack Obama addressed the meeting in a video message to announce two new National Marine Sanctuaries in the US.
