Tristan da Cunha is an island in the South Atlantic Ocean with only 245 permanent residents. Those residents have declared a marine protection area three times the size of Britain to help keep safe endangered animals. These include rockhopper penguins, the yellow-nosed albatross, and other wildlife. The island is supervised by the British government. People there call it the most remote inhabited island on Earth. The government said Friday that fishing and other activities will be banned from 627,247 square kilometers of ocean around Tristan da Cunha and the archipelago’s three other major islands. The area will be the biggest “no-take zone” in the Atlantic Ocean and the fourth biggest anywhere in the world.
