The PIR is comprised of the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) adjacent to the State of Hawaii, U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the U.S. Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIAs) of Jarvis, Johnston, Wake, Howland and Baker Islands, Kingman Reef, and Palmyra and Midway Atolls. Sea turtle species occurring in the PIR include: leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas), and olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea).
