Jaluit Atoll is one of the major atolls of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). Located in the western central Pacific Ocean, Jaluit Atoll consists of about 90 small islands and coral reefs, with a land area of less than 11 square kilometers and a lagoon area of 670 square kilometers, making it the second-largest atoll in the RMI. It was once the administrative center during the German colonial period and the Japanese Mandate, and retains historical sites such as the old church and the ruins of the German trading post. The atoll's population of about 1,700 people, mainly on Jaluit, is based on fishing and copra cultivation, with a strong traditional seafaring culture. The surrounding waters are rich in coral reefs, making it a potential destination for diving and eco-tourism, but due to its remoteness, the tourism industry has not been developed on a large scale, and the area remains untouched in terms of both nature and people.
