Former RMI President Kessai Note, who was born on Jabat Island.
Unlike most of the other islands in the Marshall Islands, Jabat Island, sometimes called Jabwot Island, is a rocky island rather than a coral atoll, although it is surrounded by fringing shallow water coral reefs that extend for several kilometers beyond the outer reef to the north and south.
