Coral Atolls of the Pacific
The Marshall Islands consist of 29 coral atolls and 5 isolated islands spread across the central Pacific. Bikini Atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the location of 67 nuclear tests conducted by the United States between 1946 and 1958. The nation operates one of the world's largest shark sanctuaries, covering nearly 2 million km² of ocean. Under the Compact of Free Association with the US, Marshallese citizens can live and work in America. Rising sea levels pose an existential threat, as most land sits barely 2 metres above the ocean.
