Navassa Navassa is a small, uninhabited, and isolated oceanic island located in the Windward Passage approximately 55 km west of the southwestern tip of Haiti. The Island is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a U.S. National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge includes a 12 mile radius of marine habitat. Because of its remote location and uninhabited status, Navassa’s surrounding marine ecosystem is relatively healthy. Although there are no permanent residents, transient Haitian subsistence fishers regularly visit the island.
Navassa is a small isolated island (about 3.5 km2) which arises abruptly from fairly deep water about 55km west of the Tiburon Peninsula of Haiti.
