Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
Marine National Monument
Program: CR 14 Component: LR G3 U2 W4 E
Vendor: Learning Media Level: 28 PDF
The NWHI National Monument covers
140,000 square miles (363,000 square
kilometers). It is bigger than Missouri and
Oklahoma together. More than 7,000 kinds of
animals live in the NWHI National Monument.
About one fourth of the animals are endemic.
That means that they live only
in this place.
A Special Place
National monuments recognize places that
are important to history or nature. George
Washington’s home is a national monument.
The giant sequoias in California are a
national monument.

A Coral Wonderland
There are many protected coral reefs
in the NWHI monument. The reefs are full
of plants and animals. They are part of the
reef ecosystem.

The coral reefs in the NWHI monument are
carefully protected. People need permission to
visit the reefs. No one can remove any coral.
This helps to keep coral reefs healthy. No one
is allowed to fish on the coral reefs. So there
are many predators, such as the grey reef
shark, around the reefs in the monument.
Coral Is Alive!
Coral is made up of
millions of tiny animals
called polyps. Polyps

For example, spectacled parrot fish are
herbivores. They eat sea plants. They use
sharp teeth to scrape algae off the coral.
This keeps the coral healthy. Large predators,
such as sharks, keep the fish population from
getting too big.

Marine Nursery
Seabirds and turtles nest on the islands. The
monument protects the nesting places. Every
year, 14 million birds lay their eggs on the
islands. For some species of birds, the islands
are the only place in the world that they nest.

The seals do not fear people. This can
be dangerous because some people are
thoughtless and hurt the seals. The seals
can catch diseases from people, too. The
seals can also be harmed by fishing nets
and fishing lines.

A Huge Step
All over the world, people try to save
threatened animals. They protect beaches
and nesting areas. They try to keep the
ocean clean. They teach people how to keep
from harming animals. These people act as
caretakers for the world’s resources.

Predators
Penguins look clumsy when they walk. But
penguins can run as fast as most people can.
They can jump out of the water onto land. They
swim very fast. Penguins are very successful
in catching fish and squid. A hook at the end
of their beak helps them catch their prey and
hold it while they swim.
