The last human on Washington's Protection Island, a wildlife refuge since 1982
Protection Island in Washington state was originally planned as an 800-home holiday community before conservationists intervened to protect its wildlife. Marty Bluewater purchased a portion of the island in the 1970s before those preservation efforts took hold. By 1982, the entire 400-acre island had been designated a National Wildlife Refuge. Bluewater was permitted to remain on the island following the designation. Over time, he became the island's sole human inhabitant.
