About Our Refuge

Picture
​The Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge is located within the Northwestern Hawaiian chain of islands, from Nihoa Island through Pearl and Hermes Atoll. Within the boundary are eight islands and atolls along a 1,200 mile chain of volcanic origin.  Land and seascapes from sheer rocky cliffs emerging from the sea, to sandy islands and atolls to broad shallow reefs with no emergent land are included.

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs works with NOAA, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources to co-manage Papahānaumokuākea. Their kuleana (responsibility and honor) includes caring for the natural, cultural and historic resources in all of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. ​
