Hawaiji

Hawaiji is a small, uninhabited island located in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 1,200 kilometers (746 miles) northwest of Tahiti. It is part of the Austral Islands group, which is administered by French Polynesia. The island is known for its pristine coral reefs and diverse marine life, making it a popular destination for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. Hawaiji is also recognized for its significant ecological importance, as it serves as a breeding ground for several species of seabirds and marine turtles. The island's remote location and lack of human habitation have helped preserve its natural environment, contributing to its status as a protected area. Despite its isolation, Hawaiji remains an important site for scientific research and conservation efforts aimed at protecting its unique biodiversity.
