In FOAM's July 17 post, "Is this place a Refuge, a Memorial or a Monument?" it was explained that Midway Atoll is all three...and that it also might become recognized as a special place by the United Nations. The good news was announced today: Midway Atoll, as part of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, was approved as a UN World Hertitage Site!
Guess we'll have to change the sign!
