It examines their history, the structure of their culture and society, the ways they have coped with the colonial powers that governed the islands, and their response to their resettlement on Ujilang Atoll. Some mention is necessarily made of the Bikini community because the histories of the two peoples are intertwined.

Subfile: ERA (Energy Research Abstracts). Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Between 1946 and 1958, (DOE contractor) 43 nuclear devices were tested at Eniwetok. This testing program provided an opportunity for research which eventually led to the establishment of the Eniwetok Marine Biological Laboratory in 1954. From 1954 to 1974 research was broadly aimed at increasing their knowledge of this diverse coral atoll ecosystem. The second period of research began with the reorganization of the laboratory in 1974. The major projects of the 1975-1980 period were (1) a study of the circulation of the Eniwetok Lagoon, (2) research on the dynamics of ground water resources of Eniwetok Atoll, and (3) studies of diguatera fish poisoning at Eniwetok.
