Jemo Island in the Marshall Islands
FACT FILE
Number of islets: 1; Population: n/a; Land area: 0.06 sq. miles
Nicky deBrum, who is the Mayor of Likiep, was on his home island in July, 2018, when he and a few friends decided to take a trip to nearby Jemo Island. While there he took a bunch of photos, including a few of Likiep policeman Jeffery rescuing a bird from a tangle of line on the beach …
…and a series of a guy making neat coconut crab parcels from palm fronds.
There are also some shots of the Marshall Islander which sadly ran up onto the reef at Jemo (apparently it was no fault of the captain).
Note August, 2018, Murray Ford wrote: I have been searching for photos of Jemo for about 10 years, so a big komol tata (thank you) to Nicky for sharing!
