Oroluk Atoll is part of Pohnpei State in the Federated Starts of Micronesia. This Pacific atoll is one of many in the Caroline Islands.
It is one of the few central Pacific high island bridges that enable marine and terrestrial life to migrate from the Indo-Malay region into the Pacific. This characteristic, along with its geographic isolation, has resulted in a high level of species diversity and endemism. Pohnpei’s extensive reefs and lagoon feature a wide diversity of productive and relatively intact natural habitats, including barrier reefs, fringing reef flats, reef passages, seagrass beds, and mangroves.
Oroluk is an important nesting site for Green Turtles and hosts a large breeding colony of Black Noddies and other seabirds. The atoll has been declared a marine sanctuary by the Pohnpei State government and traditional leaders.
