FIGURE 10-32. ISLANDS CONSIDERED SUITABLE FOR AGRICULTURE, pandanus (pandanustectorius) is grownfor its edible fruit, which provides sugars andstarchesas well as vitamin C. Pandanusleaves also are used for thatching, matting, and fiber.47 Minor crops, to be planted by the rehabilitation contractor or the people, included papaya, banana, andlime. In May 1978, work began on the three residence islands to prepare plant nurseries for seed coconuts and other developing plants. Coconuts which had sprouted and cuttings of pandanus were imported from Ujelang Atoll and nurtured in the nurseries until they were sufficiently developed for transplanting in permanent locations (Figure 10-33). Thefirst shipment of 13,000 coconut seedlings arrived at Enewetak in mid-September 1978.38 Breadfruit roots are more delicate and must be transported and retransplanted with the earth in which they are grown (Figure 10-34). Over 1,000 boxes were fabricated by AIC-Pacific and shipped to Ujelang for use in growing, shipping, and transporting breadfruit. Additional breadfruit and other plants were donated by the Government of the Marshall Islands (GMI) and wereflownin from Majuro.3? Fertilizer, in the form of copra pellets, was added to the young plantsin the nurseries. Screens, fabricated from plywood and W-panels, protected the coconut and pandanusseedlings in the nurseries from the ever-present trade winds until they were ready to be transplanted. Breadfruit plants were placed at their permanent locations in three-sided, thatch-covered eee
