About

The United States Minor Outlying Islands (USMOI) comprise a collection of uninhabited and mostly remote islands scattered across the Pacific and the Caribbean. These territories, including Johnston Atoll, Baker Island, and Wake Island, among others, are under the jurisdiction of the United States but are not incorporated into any specific state. Used primarily for scientific research, wildlife conservation, and military purposes, these islands are characterized by their pristine ecosystems and minimal human impact. While not destinations for permanent habitation, they hold strategic importance for the United States and contribute to scientific endeavors and environmental preservation efforts.
