Sanctuary

From Bob Park's What's New:

SANCTUARY: PRESIDENT CREATES VAST OCEAN CONSERVATION PROJECT.
Even as Earth faces new threats, President Bush made wonderful use of his authority under the 1906 National Antiquities Act to establish a new national monument. A vast marine sanctuary stretching across the Northwestern Hawaiian archipelago. The area, which contains 70% of the shallow water coral reefs in the United States, will be the largest marine conservation area in the world, and fortunately has absolutely no oil reserves.

You think there would have been any chance whatsoever of this place being made a sanctuary if there were oil there?
