The U.S. Department of the Interior put
Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument on the World Heritage Centre's tenative list, the first step in nominating a property to UNESCO World Heritage List. Placing the site on the tenative list allows the United States to nominate the monument by the end of January 2009. The formal nomination would be reviewed by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument is a mixed cultural and natural nomination. ICOMOS reviews cultural sites, while IUCN evaluates natural sites. The World Heritage Committee would make a decision on the nomination, but not before summer 2010.
