An abundance of unexploited marine life can be found surrounding the seas of the islands.  However the richest parts of untouched marine life can be found in the waters of Line and Phoenix Islands.  Marine scientific researchers from New England Aquarium team of scientific divers have explored and witnessed to find new species of marine life and the earth’s last pockets of primal ocean, where underwater havens have remained unspoiled as long the ocean can remember.  An article of their exploration and research can be read on the February 2004 issue (Titled cover page: Great Whites of the North) of the National Geographic Magazine.
