nomination to the World Heritage List. 

It is a list of candidate sites which a 

country intends to consider for 

nomination within a given time period. 

A country cannot nominate a property 

unless it has been on its Tentative List 

for a minimum of a year. Countries also 

are limited to nominating no more than 

two sites in any given year. 

The World Heritage Committee’s 

Operational Guidelines ask participating 

nations to provide Tentative Lists, 

which aid in evaluating properties for 

the World Heritage List on a 

comparative international basis and 

help the Committee to schedule its work 

over the long term. The Guidelines 

recommend that a nation review its 

Tentative List at least once every 

decade. 

Neither inclusion in the Tentative List 

nor inscription as a World Heritage Site 

imposes legal restrictions on owners or 

neighbors of sites, nor does it give the 

United Nations any management 

authority or ownership rights in U.S. 

World Heritage Sites, which continue to 

be subject only to U.S. and local laws. 

Inclusion in the Tentative List merely 

indicates that the property may be 

further examined for possible World 

Heritage nomination in the future.

Papahanaumokuakea Marine National 

Monument, Hawaii 

This 1,200-mile-long string of islands, 

atolls, coral reefs and adjacent waters, 

running northwest from the main 

Hawaiian islands and encompassing 

over 89 million acres, is one of the 

world’s largest and most significant 

marine protected areas. Scattered in the 

deep ocean are some 10 small islands 

along with extensive reefs and shoals. In 

this remote and still relatively pristine 

part of the Pacific, marine life 

flourishes, and the area is home to a 

large number of species found nowhere 

else in the world, including a wide array 

that are threatened and endangered. 

Large populations of seabirds nest on 

isolated sandy shores and the waters 

harbor impressive numbers of large 

predatory fish. The geology of the 

islands is also highly significant—the 

chain represents the longest, clearest, 

and oldest example of island formation 

and atoll evolution in the world. 

Native Hawaiians reached these 

islands at least 1,000 years before any 

other people and established 

settlements on some of them. The 

islands, along with their significant 

archeological sites, retain great cultural 

and spiritual significance to Native 

Hawaiians. 

Mount Vernon, Virginia 

George Washington’s long-time home, 

with its associated gardens and grounds, 

forms a remarkably well-preserved and 

extensively documented example of a 

plantation landscape of the 18th-century 

American South. It was based on 

English models but modified and 

adapted to its American context, which 

included slave labor as an economic 

basis. There is a core of 14 surviving 

18th-century structures set in a 

landscape of gardens, fences, lanes, 

walkways, and other features, situated 

along the Potomac River, that changed 

and developed over many years in 

Washington’s family. The Mount 

Vernon Ladies’ Association has owned 

and maintained the property for 150 

years.
