美国总统奥巴马星期一将向智利主办的一个保护世界海洋生态系统的峰会发表视频演讲,宣布美国在马里兰州和威斯康辛州设立两个新的美国海洋保护区。

其他国家预计也会宣布采取类似的行动。

美国国务卿克里在智利参加这次峰会。

几个国家和基金会将承诺投入资金并提出倡议,遏制海洋污染、过度捕捞以及碳排放所导致的海洋酸性化。

美国预计还宣布一项称作“海洋侦察”的计划,希望能制止全球非法和没有管治的捕鱼贸易。

智利总统巴切莱特和外交部长埃拉尔多·穆尼奥斯也将在峰会上发言。

U.S. President Barack Obama will address the summit Monday in a video message to announce the creation of two new U.S. marine sanctuaries in the states of Maryland and Wisconsin.

Other countries are also expected to announce similar moves.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is attending the conference.

Several countries and foundations are set to pledge funds and propose initiatives to fight pollution, overfishing and the acidification of the ocean by carbon emissions.

The U.S. is also expected to announce a plan, called Sea Scout, designed to bring a halt to the world's illegal and unregulated fishing trade.

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet and Foreign Minister Heraldo Munoz will also speak at the conference.
