CAFR1 NATIONAL POST
____________________
What the News media is not mentioning are the Ocean territories claimed as National Monuments by the USA.
Ocean claimed territory is listed first followed by land designated National Monuments under review.
Look at the ACREAGE claimed per the ocean floors! Amazing!
Why are the ocean territories up for review?
ANSWER: Oil and Mineing. (Deep sea mining is now a technical capability)
A few trillions of dollars in value up for the grabs there.
Did you ever think of the ocean territories claimed by the USA from the oceans of the world? I never did until now.
Sent FYI from,

As directed by section 4 of Executive Order 13795 of April 28, 2017, “Implementing An America-First Offshore Energy Strategy” (82 FR 20815, May 3, 2017), the Department of Commerce will lead the review of the Marine National Monuments in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior.

The Department of the Interior seeks public comments related to: (1) Whether national monuments in addition to those listed above should be reviewed because they were designated or expanded after January 1, 1996 “without adequate public outreach and coordination with relevant stakeholders;” and (2) the application of factors (i) through (vii) set forth above to the listed national monuments or to other Presidential designations or expansions of designations meeting the criteria of the Executive Order. With respect to factor (vii), comments should address other factors the Secretary might consider for this review.
