In October 2019 the Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority (MIMRA) set out on a Pacific Islander-led expedition to two of the Republic of the Marshall Islands' (RMI) most remote atolls, Bikar and Bokak.
The goal of the expedition was to conduct the country's first ecological assessment of these atolls, which will serve as baseline data for future resource management decisions.
