The move will protect 625 million acres of ocean along America 's Atlantic and Pacific coasts, the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska ’s Bering Sea .

It will be viewed as a significant victory for environmental groups that have long argued further drilling is contradictory to the U.S. government's stated goal of slashing emissions that lead to climate change.

The move could frustrate President-elect Donald Trump's plans to gain an economic boost from doubling down on increased oil and gas production.
