Fishing in the Chuuk Islands, Micronesia |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Fishing is an important economic activity in the Federated States of Micronesia, although its significance as a subsistence activity is diminishing. Of increasing importance is the licensing of foreign nations to fish within the country’s territorial waters. Here, fish are netted in the Chuuk Islands (part of the Caroline Islands), one of Micronesia’s member states. | ||||||
