Welcome

Interim Visitor Services Plan Approved

The Interim Visitor Services Plan for Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, the Battle of Midway Memorial, and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument’s Midway Atoll Special Management Area was approved on May 23, 2007. It provides for a small visitor program, probably beginning in 2008.

The Fish and Wildlife Service is now working with a variety of entities who have expressed interest in bringing guided groups to Midway Atoll. If you are interested in sponsoring a group visit to Midway, please contact us at midway@fws.gov. We will also offer opportunities for individuals to come independent of guided tours in 2008. As our schedule of visitor opportunities is developed, we will post it on our website.

The approved plan and its appendices may be downloaded via the links below. We are now turning our attention to plan implementation, including hiring additional staff to support the visitor program. Thank you for your continued patience as we work to make Midway Atoll more available for visitation!
