		Though the island is small, the reef area to the southeast, called Neva Shoals, is huge, covering 979 square kilometers(241,916 acres), an area nearly the size of O`ahu.
		Rabbits were introduced later, and along with mice, they devastated the island's ecology and are believed to have caused the demise of the Laysan rail.
		The reefs of Lisianski and surrounding Neva Shoals are called "coral gardens" by some scientists because of their abundance of coral and the variety of growth forms assumed by their colonies, including structures resembling spires, castles, and a variety of other shapes.

	Hawaiian Monk Seal
		Mortality due to mobbing attacks on adult and immature females may be limiting the recovery of the Laysan and Lisianski populations.
		The identified tasks focus on recovery of monk seal populations in the western portion of the species' range, resolution of the mobbing problem at Laysan and Lisianski Islands and monitoring monk seal populations at the five major breeding locations of French Frigate Shoals, Laysan Island, Lisianski Island, Pearl and Hermes Reef, and Kure Atoll.
		The decline in the Laysan and Lisianski Island populations since the late 1950's appears to have been sustained through the last decade because of mobbing activity.
