The 1996 inventory report is to be used as the official record of species and habitats of concern at USAKA until the results of the next inventory (1998) are reported and incorporated into the UES pursuant to the next applicable annual review. This report summarizes the results of the first Environmental Standards and Procedures (UES) inventory of endangered species and wildlife resources at United States Army Kwajalein Atoll (USAKA), which was conducted in 1996. The primary objective of the inventory was to document the presence and general distribution of terrestrial and marine species of concern (SOCs) and to record observations on the overall condition of their habitats. Terrestrial SOCs included certain migratory seabirds, shorebirds, and waterfowl. Important terrestrial habitats included Pisonia, Pemphis, and mixed broadleaf forests; salt ponds; and seabird and shorebird breeding and loafing sites. Marine SOCs included certain marine mammals, sea turtles, corals, sponges, and mollusks. Important marine habitats included lagoon, interislet, and seaward reef flats and slopes; reef passes; lagoon floors; seagrass beds; reef quarry pits; and intertidal zones. The 1996 inventory report is to be used as the official record of species and habitats of concern at USAKA until the results of the next inventory (1998) are reported and incorporated into the UES pursuant to the next applicable annual review.

Lists of these species and habitats are included in the UES in Appendices 3-4A-G, and the Appendix of this inventory report. The UES require that inventories of USAKA species and habitats of special concern be conducted on a biennial basis to ascertain the status of these resources at each of the USAKA islets leased from the RMI at the time of the investigation.
