I had the pleasure of visiting Midway Island back in 2008, as part of a tour commemorating the Battle of Midway. In addition to that group, there was also another organization that used to run occasional week-long visits that were geared towards the interests of bird watchers.

I know that Midway has been closed for several years now, I believe it's due to some kind of budget issue with the Federal government. Does anyone know what the status is? Is Midway expected to reopen to tourism at some point?

(And yes, I know that Midway is not technically part of the State of Hawaii, even though it's part of the Hawaiian chain. But I didn't know where else to post this thread.)
