Trump administration moves to open pristine Pacific marine monuments to commercial fishing, threatening one of Earth's most pristine coral reef ecosystems and sacred indigenous sites. NPR reporter Lauren Sommer traveled to remote Palmyra Atoll—1,000 miles south of Hawaii—to document what's at stake as fishing industry, conservationists, and Native Hawaiians clash over protecting versus exploiting these waters. Palmyra Atoll harbors one of the world's healthiest coral reef ecosystems with minimal human impact, supporting 20,000-30,000 seabirds, sharks at the highest global density, and thriving marine life that depends on a carefully balanced nutrient cycle.
