EXCERPT: The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from a fishing group that challenged the creation of a large federally protected are in the Atlantic Ocean.
The group sued to try to get rid of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, which became the first national ocean monument in the Atlantic when President Barack Obama created it in 2016. The area consists of 5,000 square miles off New England, and it is home to fragile deep sea corals.
