Research in the Marshall Islands - 1



I have been in the Marshall Islands for fieldwork research on the reconstruction of Rongelap community after H-bomb testing. The research term is between 16th February and 11th March. This research is supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT KAKENHI Grant Number: 25370955)
For the first time I tried to go to Mejatto Islet where the Rongelap people evacuated from Rongelap atoll, and live. I planned to compare the life on Mejatto from three years ago. I could not find any ship going to Mejatto islet, so I have been on Ebeye islet during almost of all my research term.
