This painting succinctly depicts Kiribati's greatest feature - the ocean. The Republic of Kiribati is a beautiful island country in the central Pacific Ocean. Although Kiribati only has a land area of roughly 800 square kilometers, the country encompasses an ocean area of 3.5 million square kilometers. Therefore, Kiribati's culture and economy are intertwined with the ocean. The surrounding waters are rich with tuna activity, making tuna a stable food for residents. Fishing license revenues account for almost half of the government's income. In addition, the world's largest marine protected area is located in Kiribati.
