Manuae (Cook Islands)
Manuae is an uninhabited atoll in the southern group of the Cook Islands, 100 kilometres south-east of Aitutaki. It is administratively part of Aitutaki, but does not belong to any district or tapere of Aitutaki. It is, however, part of Arutanga-Reureu-Nikaupara Constituency.
== Geographic description ==
Manuae is a true atoll sitting on the peak of a submerged volcano which descends 4000 meters to the ocean bed. It comprises two horseshoe-shaped islets, ''Manuae'' to the west and ''Te Au O Tu'' to the east, with a total area of 6.17 km²〔http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-KloDisc-t1-body-d5.html: 1,524 acres〕 on either side of a lagoon about 7 km x 4 km. Manuae has an area of 2.1 km², and Te Au O TU of 3.9 km².〔http://www.teara.govt.nz/1966/I/IslandTerritories/CookIslands/en (total size and island sizes from different sources don't match exactly)〕 The lagoon is 13 km² in size, shallow and subject to large shifting sand banks.〔http://www.usp.ac.fj/fileadmin/files/services/library/PIMRIS/Cook/Marine_Resources_Cook_Islands.pdf〕 A coral reef surrounds the atoll and there is no passage through the reef.〔http://permanent.access.gpo.gov/websites/pollux/pollux.nss.nima.mil/NAV_PUBS/SD/pub126/126sec02.pdf〕
The island is a marine park and is an important breeding ground for seabirds and marine turtles in the Central Pacific. The offshore waters of Manuae are good fishing grounds.
