This complied with the desires of the dri-Enewetak for agricultural developmentwith two exceptions: Enjebi could not be planted until its strontium and cesium levels were lowered; and Runit could not be planted until its plutonium concentrations were reduced. Subsequent events at Bikini Atoll caused a reevaluation of the plans to replant the islands north of Ananij, while agricultural development proceeded on the southern islands. SOUTHERN ISLANDS AGRICULTURE: 1978 - 1980 Subsistence crops were to be planted on Ananij and the three residence islands of Enewetak, Medren, and Japtan.36 There were four basic food plants.
