Competing interests
: Both J.L. and T.V. were indirectly funded for their work on the original paper by the Pew Charitable Trusts, which advocated in favor of the Papahānaumokuākea expansion. The funder did not play any role in the formulation of our response to this comment. A.N., J.R., and J.C.V.D. declare that they have no competing interests.
