Why was the Magnuson Act created by congress in 1976?

Warren G. Magnuson's Marine Mammals Protection Act was not in fact created by congress but instead by Senator Magnuson himself. The MMPA was created to ensure that the marine animals of the Puget Sound environment would be safe and have no great harm come to them. Because Governor Dixy Lee Ray was so ignorant and completely on the corporate side, she did absolutely nothing to protect the ecosystem of Washington. Acting quickly, Magnuson showed the bill to congress on October 4, 1977, and the next day it was passed. Right under Ray's nose. If this amendment had not been passed, who knows what the state of Washingtons' environment would be in today.

Which US president was the first to establish a national park?

Yellowstone National Park, established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872,is a national park located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, though it also extends into Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone's name is historically credited to the Native Americans who lived in and around the park area. The name is basically derived from the Yellowstone River. The Yellowstone River has high yellow rock cliffs along its banks in the northern area of the present day park. The Native American Minnetaree tribe called the river "Mi tsi a da zi," which means "Rock Yellow River." French fur trappers translated this to "Yellow Rock" or "Yellow Stone." Hence Yellowstone was named. In 1872 Yellowstone National Park was established making it the world's first national park.
