The Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument (PRIMNM) was created in 2009 by then-president George W. Bush, and extended by his successor Barack Obama in 2014.
Commercial fishing and resource extraction activities such as undersea mining have been banned until now, although traditional and sport fishing were still allowed.
“Appropriately managed commercial fishing would not put objects of scientific and historic interest within the PRIMNM at risk,“ he added.

Foreign ships could be granted “permits... to transship fish harvested by United States fishermen,“ the executive order read.
The Republican president, an avowed sceptic of climate change, has since his return to the White House taken aim at environmental regulations, pushing to reduce the rules' impact on business.
