Monumental majesty
Sweeping wilderness vistas. Archaeological relics dating thousands of years. Undersea worlds of corals, anemones and rare marine species.
Their fate could become clear as details are revealed of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's review of 27 national monuments, as directed by an executive order that President Donald Trump signed this spring. The order targeted designations of at least 100,000 acres that were made by former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama under the 1906 Antiquities Act. Zinke later made an exception, also adding a smaller monument in northern Maine.
