The MPAs, sandctuaries and forestry reserve Pohnpei Island currently have eleven sea conservation areas, three of which are mangroves and two stingrays. We would like to give Mike Viti, John Ranahan and Karino Olpet a big kala hngan, because they passed on their know how about scuba dipping on Pohnpei first handed - without which this site would not have been possible.
