Migrants from Cuba rescued near Monito Island by the US Coast Guard
The island is uninhabited. The high altitude of the island's shoreline makes it inaccessible by sea. Monito has an area of 0.06 sq mi (0.16 km2) or 36.25 acres (14.67 ha), its highest point is 213 ft (65 m), and is barren. The U.S. Coast Guard has rescued migrants off Monito Island. The Monito gecko is found only on Monito Island.[1]
