About this site
West Reef lies along the western edge of Midway Atoll, part of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and within the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument. The atoll sits in a remote stretch of the central Pacific, far from other inhabited islands, and access to its waters is tightly restricted due to its conservation status.
