Researching our Reefs

Marine scientists are regular visitors to the Marshall Islands. Their specific research topics vary, but most choose the Marshalls because our reefs are so accessible … plus those that aren’t so accessible, on the remote outer islands, are truly unique.

Getting Around

How much does a taxi to Laura cost?
– by Karen E.
Prices vary. Locals share the taxi, but if you prefer to ride on your own (with friends), the rate is usually between $20 and $35. Also, getting a taxi back can be tricky. For this reason you should consider renting a car. RRE Hotel has rental cars as do a number of Asian stores. Rentals range from $50 to $100.
