Last Friday,Tristan da Cunha,a tiny,remote island in the
middle of the Atlantic Ocean announced that it was creating one
of the largest protected ocean areas in the world.
Tristan da Cunha is a small island in the Atlantic Ocean,a-
bout midway between South Africa and Argentina.The only way
to get to it is by boat.The island,and the other small nearby
islands,belong to the UK.Though it's very remote,there are
about 250 people who live there.Their main source of money on
the island is a special kind of lobster found there.
The islands are home to many different kinds of sea birds,
some of which are endangered.Several kinds of sea birds travel
widely,but only raise their families on Tristan da Cunha and
