Venezuela to give island to New Jersey

I haven't been to Petty's Island, but from what I have heard about its history it seems like it is a very nice gesture on the part of Venezuela. Protecting our wildlife is an important goal for us to have and hopefully with the turnover of this island we can make it a better place for our endangered birds and animals to live. Besides the animal protection component of the deal, I found out that William Penn once owned the island. For that reason alone we could have tried to secure the island and put up an educational and historical center. The history of the island is fascinating with the lawlessness that took place and how ships were wrecked around the area. It seems to me like it was a place for many people to engage in the vices of the day without having to succumb themselves to pressures of being seen doing such business. When the island lost all of his citizens it seems to have lost a bit of its edge, but even though nobody currently lives on the island it still is a place that could be of some value to us in the future and with the money that Venezuela is giving to help fund the conservation efforts for it we may even be able to move some inhabitants back to it within the next decade.
