It's a shame.  I think limited eco-tourism would be a good thing.  You'd
need to establish strict guidelines and charge an entry fee to help support
the research and maintenance but just to lock out everyone except a few
scientists and vocal activists is not right.  And just how will you protect
those areas from pirate fishing without anyone around to witness and report
it?

I did about 30 dives at Midway Atoll in 1993 - fish life (and sizes) were
incredible...if you didn't mind swimming with tiger sharks.

Never did find that Jap Zero that supposedly crashed inside the lagoon in
June 1942.
