Aur Atoll is one of the Republic of the Marshall Islands' 24 constituencies. It's known for its rich natural and cultural resources, as well as its beautiful underwater ecology, which attracts numerous tourists. There are massive and colorful coral reefs in the territorial waters of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The U.S. and Japan fought in the Marshall Islands during World War II, and divers have unexpectedly found the wreckage of warplanes on the seabed. The woven shell bag in the image is a handicraft made by local women using their country's abundant marine resources.
