Located in the central Pacific Ocean, between the Hawaiian Islands and the Line Islands, Johnston Atoll is one of the most isolated atolls in the world. Around the atoll, the PRIMNM manages a massive habitat of deep seamounts and ridges that are little explored to date. Biodiversity observations like this contribute to the understanding of this protected region, guiding cooperative management and conservation by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
