Near Puerto Rico, the mysterious and enduring beauty of uninhabited Monita Island lies north-northwest just five kilometers from her sister island, Mona. Within the sixteen hectares of this limestone island, a limited range of flora and fauna exists - a fraction of land that is found on Isle of Mona. This distinct difference between the two islands is due mainly to their size: Monita is less then 0.3% of the area of its sister - Mona.
In 2001, the Bush administration promised to stop naval bombing practices upon the island of Vieques and in 2003, the destruction stopped. Although the 2/3rds of the island that the navy of the United States had owned has now been turned over to the Department of Fish and Wildlife, little has been done to the areas of bombing destruction, but like all places of beauty, inroads are starting to take place.
