the guano islands act
Guano islands are formed through the accumulation of bird droppings (guano) over a long period of time. As birds roost and nest on remote islands, their droppings build up over centuries, creating thick layers of nutrient-rich guano. The high nutrient content in guano makes it a valuable fertilizer for agriculture.

There is no actual "Guano Island". There is a Guano Island Act, which is a federal legislation passed by the US Congress on 18 August 1856. It enables US citizens to take possession of islands containing guano deposits. Guano is the droppings of bats, seabirds, and seals. It is a highly prized fertilizer.
