Buried in that order are instructions to review all national monuments.

The Great Lakes hold one-fifth of the world's supply of surface freshwater, supplying drinking water to up to 40M people in the U.S. and Canada.
Despite the lakes' significance, Canadian oil giant Enbridge has been shuttling toxic fossil fuels through the Great Lakes since the 1950s.
