The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has over 143 islands, keys, islets, and atolls. Only the main island of Puerto Rico (3,424 sq mi [8,868 km2]), and the islands of Vieques (51 sq mi [130 km2]), and Culebra (10 sq mi [26 km2]) are inhabited. Mona Island (22 sq mi [57 km2]) has personnel from the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER) stationed year-around but no private citizens inhabit it (other than overnight camping guests and nature enthusiasts). Caja de Muertos Island (0.58 sq mi [1.5 km2]) is also a DNER Nature Reserve, while Desecheo Island (0.58 sq mi [1.5 km2]) is a National Wildlife Refuge administrated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
The other 140 islands, keys, islets and atolls are not inhabited. Some islands are privately-owned: Isla Palomino,[1] which is rented on a long-term lease to El Conquistador Hotel, Isleta Marina, Isla de Ramos and Isla de Lobos.
