Creation Justice Ministries values the ocean highly. The creation story tells us that the ocean was first created and everything else came after. The ocean cleans our air, feeds our souls and reflects the mystery of God. The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is a biodiversity hub. If we are to protect and regenerate the ocean, the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts must be protected.

Reinstate The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument
The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument consists of 4,900 square miles on the floor of the Atlantic ocean. It is the size of Connecticut and rests off the coast of Massachusetts. It was established by President Obama in 2016. It is a virtual Noah's ark, teeming with God's creatures: from endangered whales, seabirds, and sea turtles to rare thousand-year-old deep-sea corals. Unfortunately, that protection was rescinded by the Trump Administration this summer, requiring us to advocate for this important monument once again.
As leaders in the faith community, we know how critical it is to protect sacred spaces and the importance of honoring all of God’s beautiful creation. Please add your name today to encourage President elect Biden to keep his promise to reinstate the protections for the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument.
This sanctuary is the definition of caring for the earth. It is the only marine monument in the U.S. Atlantic Ocean, providing lasting sanctuary from oil and gas drilling, commercial fishing, mining, and other destructive activities. Within the sanctuary there are several protective acts carried out; the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Act and the Fishery Conservation and Management Act to name a few. All of these acts protect God’s precious creatures. The ones that when created, were looked upon and told, “you are good.” We have signed on to urge President Elect Biden to reinstate the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine Monument as part of his First 100 Days Agenda.
