Jaluit Atoll, Ramsar site in Marshall Islands
The coral formation includes 91 islets surrounding a large lagoon, covering a total area of 69,000 hectares in the Pacific Ocean.
The German Empire established control over Jaluit Atoll in 1885, declaring it as a protectorate before transitioning to Japanese governance after World War I.
The local population maintains traditional land ownership practices and resource management systems that influence the distribution of marine resources among community members.
Jaluit Airport connects the atoll with other Marshall Islands destinations through Air Marshall Islands, while Jabor serves as the main settlement with stores.
The atoll contains multiple marine habitats including reefs, sandflats, seagrass beds, mangroves, and sand cays that support diverse marine species populations.
