There is precedent. The “Guano Islands Act” of 1856 led to the claiming of Midway island. All we need is one seabird there to ...

“Whenever any citizen of the United States discovers a deposit of guano on any island, rock, or key, not within the lawful jurisdiction of any other Government, and not occupied by the citizens of any other Government, and takes peaceable possession thereof, and occupies the same, such island, rock, or key may, at the discretion of the President, be considered as appertaining to the United States...”

Well, I guess that puts to rest the old saying that real estate is a good investment because they aren’t making any more land.

Since we are still paying Lois Lerner her IRS pension, she could be re-activated out of retirement and sent there to be the guano generator.

...the island's altitude is 20 to 40 feet...

Rising sea levels caused by Global Warming should make the island be back under water in a month or two.

What seems to have happened is that a neck of land got separated from the land and became an island.

In the book “Footsteps of Alexander the Great” Michael Wood points out that this bit of land was talked about by the Greeks on their way back to Persia from India.
