Comments:
Johnston Atoll consists of four small
man-made islands enclosed in an egg-shaped reef approximately 21 miles
in circumference. The wildlife refuge on the Atoll is a habitat for 32
species of coral, 300 species of fish, the endangered sea turtle and
Hawaiian monk seal, and 20 species of migratory birds. Johnston, the
main island, is 1000 yards long and 200 yards wide. The deed will
contain use restrictions because the atoll was used by the Defense
Department for storage of chemical munitions and as a missile test site
in the 1950's and 60's. The island can be used as a residence or
vacation getaway but it does not have utilities or a water supply. The
airstrip and the golf course are closed |
