Hawaii longline fishing for swordfish closed again on 17 March 2006, when the by-catch limit of 17 loggerhead turtles was reached.

In summer, loggerhead turtles lay their eggs on the beach.

This is due to the endangered loggerhead turtles or "caretta caretta" which lay their eggs on the beaches at night.

Giant leatherback, hawksbill, and loggerhead turtles also nest here.

The area is also rich with reptiles; the common species are green turtle and loggerhead turtle.

It contains a herd of feral horses, scallop, crabs and various sea animals, including summer nesting by loggerhead turtles.

In particular the cays are recognized as having the largest breeding population of endangered loggerhead turtles in the South Pacific.
