    National Park Service National Park of American Samoa U.S. Department of the Interior Trip Planner Explore the Islands of Sacred Earth Talofa (Hello)! The National Park Service welcomes you into the heart of the South Pacific, to a world of sights, sounds, and experiences that you will find in no other national park in the United States. Located some 2,600 miles southwest of Hawai’i, this is one of the most remote and newest national park’s in the United States. You will not find the usual facilities of most national parks. Instead, with a bit of the explorer’s spirit, you will discover secluded villages, rare plants and animals, coral sand beaches, and vistas of land and sea. The national park includes sections of three islands—Tutuila, Ta’u, and Ofu. Almost all the land area of these volcanic islands—from the mountaintops to the coast—is rainforest. About 4,000 acres of the national park is underwater, offshore from all three islands. Enjoy this unique national park in the heart of the South Pacific and the welcoming people of American Samoa. We are here to protect its rich culture and natural resources. Come explore them with us! TROPICAL RAINFOREST From the mountaintops to the ocean’s edge, the islands are covered with mixed-species, paleotropical rainforests. In mixed-species forests, no single tree or plant species dominates. This is the only rainforest of its kind in a United States national park. About 9,500 acres of tropical rainforest are protected here. WILDLIFE Bats are the only native mammals found in American Samoa.

    The Existing Network of Marine Protected Areas in American Samoa Matthew Poti1, Matthew S. Kendall2, Gene Brighouse3, Tim Clark4, Kevin Grant3, Lucy Jacob5, Alice Lawrence5, Mike Reynolds4 and Selaina Vaitautolu5 INTRODUCTION Marine Protected Areas and Marine Managed Areas (hereafter referred to collectively as MPAs) are considered key tools for maintaining sustainable reef ecosystems. By limiting or pro- moting particular resource uses and activities in different areas and raising awareness issues on reef sustainability within MPAs, managers can promote long term resiliency. Multiple local and federal agencies have eagerly embraced MPA concepts in Samoa and American Samoa with a diversity of MPAs now in place across the ar- chipelago from the village and local community level to national protected areas and those with international significance. Many of the different MPAs in the network were created through inde- pendent processes and therefore have different objectives, have been in existence for different lengths of time, have a wide range of sizes and Image 19.

Areas Chapter 5 - Marine Protected Understanding the variety of fish, coral, and habitat resources that this multifaceted network of MPAs encom- passes is critical for assessing the scope of current protection and thoughtfully designing additional network elements. Here we seek to summarize what aspects of the coral reef ecosystem are protected by MPAs indi- vidually, through brief summaries of each MPA, and then collectively, through analysis of the combined area encompassed by all MPAs.
