Sign our petition today urging Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to remove two shipwrecks located in one of our nation's marine national monuments.  The degrading wrecks are causing a nuisance species to grow out-of-control and kill coral reefs.  740 acres of coral habitat have been destroyed so far.
