Summary
[edit]DescriptionMap of American Samoa's Marine Sanctuary -a.jpg |
English: National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa The sanctuary is located in both territorial and federal waters of the U.S. territory of American Samoa. American Samoa constitutes the eastern portion of the Samoan archipelago, a 301 mile (485 kilometer) long volcanic island chain in the South Pacific Ocean region of Polynesia. American Samoa is midway between Hawai‘i and New Zealand. American Samoa is the only U.S. territory south of the equator and is composed of seven land masses: five volcanic islands and two coral atolls. From west to east, American Samoa’s islands are Tutuila, Aunu`u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta`u. Ofu, Olosega, and Ta`u are collectively known as the Manu`a Islands. American Samoa's two atolls are Rose Atoll and Swains Island. Rose Atoll is about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Olosega, and Swains Island is about 200 miles (320 kilometers) northwest of Tutuila. The sanctuary includes areas at Tutuila, Aunu`u, Ta`u, Rose Atoll, and Swains Island. |
