Overview of Platap Atoll, Federated States of Micronesia
Pulap Atoll is located in Yap State, Federated States of Micronesia in the Western Pacific Ocean, is an important atoll in the western part of the Caroline Islands, consisting of a number of small islands and lagoons. Located at 8°38'N, 137°29'E, it has a land area of about 0.9 square kilometers and a lagoon area of 41 square kilometers. The atoll is known for its pristine coral reef ecosystem and rich marine life.
Natural and Human Characteristics
With its crystal clear lagoon and colorful coral formations, the atoll is a habitat for sea turtles, reef sharks and tropical fish. The local population relies mainly on fishing and subsistence agriculture, preserving the traditional Micronesian way of life. There are no modern tourist facilities on the island, and boat access can be arranged through the main island of Yap State, making it suitable for eco-adventures and cultural heritage experiences.
Geographic and ecological values
As part of the Pacific Coral Triangle, Puulapu Atoll has significant marine ecological research value. Its coral reef system plays a key role in maintaining regional biodiversity and in recent years has become an area of focus for marine conservation programs. The atoll is low lying, with the highest point only 2 meters above sea level, so the impact of sea level rise on the ecosystem is a concern.
