    Excerpt
    New Zealand has unveiled plans to create a South Pacific marine sanctuary the size of France, saying it would protect one of the world's most pristine ocean environments. Prime minister John Key said the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary would cover an area of 620,000 square kilometres about 1,000 kilometres off New Zealand's northeast coast. Announcing the plans at the United Nations in New York, Mr Key said the Kermadec area was home to thousands of important species including whales, dolphins, seabirds and endangered turtles.
