Predator control and a fence line around the perimeter of the refuge provide baseline protection to breeding seabirds and nēnē. Native and endangered plants are reintroduced and alien species removed. Native coastal plants, such as naupaka ("Scaevola" spp.), ilima ("Sida fallax"), hala ("Pandanus tectorius"), āheahea ("Chenopodium oahuense"), akoko ("Euphorbia" spp.), have been restored on the refuge. An endangered plant restoration program gives species such as the rare ōlulu ("Brighamia insignis") a chance to survive on the point. Habitat management also includes opening and maintaining nesting areas for the recently colonizing Laysan albatross and improving feeding habitat for nēnē.
