Pacific Ocean. Geography: Located 1500km (925 miles) southwest of Hawaii, Kingman Reef consists of a reef and shoal measuring 8km (5 miles) by 15km (9.5 miles). History: The reef is closed to public access and was a Naval Defense Sea Area and Airspace Reservation administered by the US Department of Defense. In 1990, Congress passed legislation for the reef to be included within the boundaries of the State of Hawaii. In January 2001, the waters around the reef were designated a National Wildlife Refuge.
