Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of Midway National Memorial

Access for general visitation purposes was previously allowed at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge; however, due to recent reductions in refuge staff and operational capacity, historical and eco-tour access is currently not offered. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife is considering visitation options in the future if operational support becomes available. For more information, visit www.fws.gov/refuge/Midway_Atoll/.
