Puluwat Atoll: A Nautical Jewel of the Federated States of Micronesia
Puluwat Atoll, part of Yap State in the Federated States of Micronesia, is located in the middle of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean and consists of about 20 small coral islands surrounding a lagoon with a land area of less than 2 square kilometers. As the centerpiece of traditional Micronesian seafaring culture, the atoll's inhabitants are known for their astrological navigation skills, having relied on canoes to pinpoint their position in the vast Pacific Ocean, a tradition that is included in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The climate is tropical and maritime, with an average annual temperature of 27°C. The lagoon is rich in tuna and lobster, and fishing and coconut farming are the mainstays of the economy. With a population of about 800, the atoll retains its traditional village structure and its inhabitants pass on their culture through seafaring lore and oral history, making it a unique destination for exploring Micronesia's original island culture.
