The area was first protected by Theodore Roosevelt when he created the Hawaiian Islands Bird Reservation in 1909 to slow the over-harvesting of seabirds and their feathers. Over the next century, it received ever stronger levels of protection culuminating with a designation as Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument by George W. Bush in 2007. A National Wildlife Refuge sign from the 1940’s is often perched on by red boobies and other seabirds.
