Majuro Atoll, Capital atoll in Marshall Islands.

The atoll stretches over 25 miles with 64 islands arranged in a crescent shape, enclosing a large lagoon in the Pacific Ocean.

The German Empire incorporated Majuro into their protectorate in 1885, establishing copra trading stations and introducing Protestant missionary presence.

The Marshallese inhabitants maintain traditional navigation techniques and land ownership systems based on family ties passed down through generations.

The Delap-Uliga-Djarrit area contains the main settlement, connecting three islands through landfills and hosting government offices, shops, and residential areas.

The atoll functions as one of the largest tuna transshipment ports worldwide, supporting the regional fishing industry through its expansive lagoon facilities.
