	Rota (island) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rota, also known as the "peaceful island", is the southernmost island of the United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
		Rota stands out as a pristine and untarnished island boasting white sandy beaches, a diverse flora and fauna, and breathtaking panoramas.
		This image has been attributed to the lack of overt development which has been seen in the two larger islands of Saipan and Tinian.

	Nat' Academies Press, The Scientific Bases for Preservation of the Mariana Crow (1997)
		Recent paleontologic excavations on Rota, Agiguan, and Tinian have revealed that, as elsewhere on oceanic islands, numerous species of land birds and resident breeding populations of sea birds were extirpated in prehistoric times as a result of overharvesting by humans and predation by introduced predators (Atkinson 1984; Steadman 1995a).
		On Rota, the decline of the crow population appears to be related primarily to habitat modification and secondarily to human-caused deaths associated with land development.
		The biologists on both Guam and Rota and the various workers from FWS and academe who have worked there are dedicated to protection of the endangered native biota, but the higher levels of government and the general public consider economic development to have a higher priority.

		Abstract: The island of Rota in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands relies on groundwater derived from the uplifted limestone aquifer that covers most of the island’s surface.
		Although the island has a nascent tourist industry and has seen important development in recent years, including a large golf resort, there has yet to be a systematic study of the karst geology to support the development of the island’s groundwater resources.
		Rota is unique in that most of the island’s potable water comes from permanently flowing karst springs that appear to be fed by water shunted down the flank of its volcanic core through conduits along the contact with the limestone bedrock.

		The artifact was recovered in July 1995 during the systematic surface survey of a large Latte village complex located on first coastal terrace east of the Sagua Gaha area at the southeastern edge of the island (Butler 1995).
		This suggests that the artifact from Rota was nearing the final stages of manufacture when it was discarded or lost.
