It is known for its unique wildlife, particularly the large populations of seabirds that nest there, including the Laysan albatross and black-footed albatross. The atoll is also a significant site for marine conservation. Historically, Midway Atoll played a crucial role during World War II, particularly in the Battle of Midway, which was a turning point in the Pacific theater. Today, it is managed as a wildlife refuge and is part of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, emphasizing its ecological importance.
