Why is construction being planned for Midway, Kure, Tern, and Pearl and Hermes?

0

Some of the aging infrastructure at Midway Atoll must be replaced to ensure human and wildlife safety. As discussed in the Midway Atoll NWR Draft Conceptual Site Plan, Midway will become an operational hub for the Monument, as well as provide the only opportunity for visitors to learn about and enjoy its resources. In addition, very limited development activities are proposed at Kure Atoll, Tern Island, and Pearl and Hermes Atoll. These activities are primarily intended to support existing field camps that conduct research, monitoring, restoration, and other management activities. Conceptual site plans still need to be developed for Kure Atoll and the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge.
