  1. I am interested in knowing whether the Midway Atoll visitor program is going to resume. I am interested in participating in the program.

    1. From my vantage point, there’s not a chance that FWS will ever reopen a Visitor Program at Midway. However, there a lot of interesting things being done, behind the curtain, to remove absolute control and jurisdiction away from the FWS. It’s nearly criminal how FWS has cared for Historic Preservation at Midway. Many of us hope FWS will be held accountable for what they’ve done to Midway. Stay tuned.
