Ujelang is much smaller than Enewetak, both in size of the lagoon and in the total dry land area. A comparison of both atolls in square miles of area shows: Lagoon Ujelang Atol] Enewetak Atol] Dry Land 25.47 0.67 387.99 2.75 From this comparison, it is apparent that the potential for production of food from the reefs and lagoon is considerably less on Ujelang than it is on Enewetak. The limited food potential on Ujelang has made it necessary to import more commodities than would normally be required on Enewetak. LIVING CONDITIONS ON UJELANG The U.S. Navy had constructed a village on the main island of Ujelang for the displaced Enewetak people and a brush clearing program was in progress when they arrived on the atoll. Coconut trees planted during German and Japanese administrations were still standing and bearing. Seedlings of breadfruit and pandanus were brought ashore and planted. After the Enewetak people had settled in, the Navy departed. While on Ujelang, the people have been housed, supplied with a water system (including numerous rain catchments), a church, a council hall, a school, and a dispensary. Supply ships have brought in tools, clothing, and food to supplement the meager natural resources. The people practice a nonintensive type of agriculture but utilize the environment to the maximum, using the plants that can survive and produce in the atol] environment. Coconut is converted to copra for cash sale to the visiting Trust Territory supply ship. Consumer goods are purchased from the ship with the proceeds of the copra sales. The interest payments from the trust funds provided by the TTPI administration also help buy needed commodities. Rice, flour, sugar, canned meats, and other canned goods are staple items of the diet and have been for many years. Fish, clams, lobster, turtles (flesh and eggs), seabirds (flesh and eggs), chickens, and pigs provide protein in the diet. The marine resources are extremely important in the diet of these people. Coconuts, pandanus, breadfruit, and arrowroot are the main vegetable products used. Bananas, papayas, and squash are used to a less extent, probably due to the relative scarcity of the banana and papaya which do not seem to grow well on Ujelang.
