	Gardner Pinnacles
		Palmer suggests that Gardner Pinnacles are the remains of an island which was formerly much larger, perhaps intermediate in size between Kahoolawe and Lanai, with an area of about 80 square miles.
		The steep slopes of Gardner Pinnacles are bare of vegetation, except for small pockets of purslane (Portulaca), and algae on the lower, moist surfaces.
		Official estimates of the heights of the three conical pinnacles, two on one base and one on the other, are 90, 100 and 170 feet, the water passage being between 90 and 170 foot peaks.

		The Gardner Pinnacles (Hawaiian: PÅ«hÄhonu) are two barren rock outcrops surrounded by a reef and located 946 km (588 miles) northwest of Honolulu in the Hawaiian Islands at.
		Since this is part of a wildlife refuge, Gardner Pinnacles is off limits to even the military, who made an unauthorized entrance once to blow off the tip of the outcrop to create an emergency helicopter landing spot.
		In the Hawaiian Archipelago, adjacent islands/reefs are French Frigate Shoals to the southeast, and Maro Reef to the northwest.

	News Release - NOWRAMP Expedition
		The five to ten mile underwater bank that extends seaward from the islands in all directions was not surveyed because the waters quickly dropped to depths of 15 to 20 fathoms, outside the expedition's sampling depths.
		Geologists believe that these pinnacles, now measuring eight acres, were once about 80 square miles in size, bigger than the island of Kahoolawe but smaller than the island of Lanai in the main Hawaiian islands.
		When I dove with the Townsend Cromwell on the eastern side of the Reef we saw pinnacles without much coral, only slimy algal 'fuzz.' The water was silty and the pinnacles were covered with lots of bivalves like arc shells, rock and spiny oysters which bored themselved into the pinnacles.

		Both regions encompass large coral reef areas with a diversity of corals and fishes, and the extensive open coral atoll of Maro Reef is the largest coral reef area in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI).
		Gardner Pinnacles is a series of basalt sea stacks surrounded by steeply sloping shelves and several shallow pinnacles (say that 10 times fast!).
		Although Gardner has the smallest land area of all NWHI, it is known to be highly diverse and abundant with fish.

	NWHI : Gardner Pinnacles
		Located between the French Frigate Shoals (to the southeast) and Maro Reef (to the northwest) lies a large submarine bank from which emerge the twin rocky remnants of a former volcano that today form the Gardner Pinnacles.
		The two pinnacles are located at the northeastern side of the bank, and are separated from each other by around 100 m.
		The largest and most southerly of the pair rises to a height of 55 m and is around 180 m across.

	introduction
		The eastern part of the NEGOM region is separated from the western part, by the DeSoto Canyon (Figure 1), which forms a physical and hydrographic barrier separating shelf and slope faunas (Shipp and Hopkins, 1978).
		The total areal extent of the reef biotope is much greater than the physical reef structures themselves, due to the halo of reef-dependent, reef-influenced communities surrounding and extending well away from reefs.
		This heterogeneous habitat (reef plus halo biotopes) is apparent in acoustic reflectivity surveys (Gardner et al., 2000), in the form of high reflectivity substrate surfaces (reef rubble, and current-swept and biologically reworked sediment) adjacent to hard-bottom areas.
