Isla de Ratones (Ponce, Puerto Rico)
Isla de Ratones ((英語:''Mice Island'')) is a small uninhabited island off the southern coast of Puerto Rico, off the coast of Ponce. The island is part of barrio Canas in the municipality of Ponce.〔(''Municipios, Municipio Subdivisions, Subbarrios, and Places - Section 14.'' ) U. S. Census Bureau. Census 2000. "Puerto Rico 2000: Population and Housing Unit Counts." Retrieved 11 October 2011.〕〔(''Puerto Rico 2000: Population and Housing Unit Counts.'' ) U.S. Census Bureau.Publication Number PHC-3-53. Published November 2003. Page F-17. Retrieved 22 September 2011.〕 The island gained attention in 2010 when the Puerto Rican Bird Society made it a target for the eradication of the black rat. While named as one single island, it is actually composed of two islands separated by a few feet of shallow water during high tide, which become a single island at low tide.
==Location==
The island, sometimes erroneously considered a cay (or key),〔(''El Boricua'' ), Puerto Rican 101, retrieved 30 April 2011.〕 is located 1.0 km south of the mainland Puerto Rican shore across from Punta Cucharas in barrio Canas.〔(''Panorama histórico forestal de Puerto Rico'' ), Carlos Domínguez Cristóbal, p.393, retrieved 30 April 2011.〕〔(''West Indies Pilot, Volume 1'' ), United States Hydrographic Office, p.599, Fourth Edition: 1922, retrieved 29 April 2011.〕 The island has an area of 6.94 ''cuerdas''〔Neysa Rodriguez Deynes. ''Brevario Sobre la Historia de Ponce.'' Second Edition. Government of the Autonomous Municipality of Ponce. 2002. Page 9. Printed by Impress Quality Printing, Bayamon, Puerto Rico.〕 (one ''cuerda'' equals 0.97 acres〔(UnitConversion.org ), retrieved 29 April 2011.〕) It is located at latitude 17.95500° and longitude -66.68139°.〔(''Isla de Ratones'' ), Traveling Luck, retrieved 30 April 2011.〕 The short distance from the mainland shore makes Ratones a popular landing point for aquatic events such as kayaking.〔(''Kayaking to Cayo Ratones in Ponce, Puerto Rico'' ), Eduardohv, retrieved 30 April 2011.〕 Together with Caja de Muertos, Gatas, Morrillito, Cardona, Isla del Frio, and Isla de Jueyes, Ratones is one of seven islands in the municipality of Ponce.〔Neysa Rodriguez Deynes.
