Bokak (Bokaak / Taongi) Atoll National Marine Sanctuary

Bokak (Taongi) Atoll is the second of two remote, uninhabited northern atolls protected within the Marshall Islands' first national marine sanctuary (announced 29 January 2025; ~48,000 km2), which is fully protected from fishing. It is the nation's northernmost atoll and supports its largest colony of nesting green turtles plus multiple shark species. All fishing — therefore spearfishing — is prohibited.
