it is formed by the droppings of birds
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.

The production decline in guano islands was due to overharvesting of the guano, which led to depletion of the resource. Additionally, competition from synthetic fertilizers made from ammonia contributed to the decline in demand for guano. Regulations to protect seabird populations also limited harvesting on some islands.
The Guano Islands Act allowed the United States to claim midway atoll.
