Toke's lagoon has fewer pinnacles and patch reefs (less than 50 total) all of circular shape and generally concentrated in the southern half of the lagoon and near the deep western passage (Figures 16-18). Despite Utrok's smaller size, its lagoon contains over twice as many patch and pinnacle reefs. These factors help to explain why

Despite Utrok's smaller size, its lagoon contains over twice as many patch and pinnacle reefs. These factors help to explain why Toke is not permanently inhabited. Land, water, and lagoon reef resources are larger and more conveniently located on Utrok. Fishermen from inhabited Utrok Atoll occasionally visit Toke to fish and to harvest shellfish and sea turtles. The land owners and managers of Toke reside at Utrok, but the expedition was not able to visit Utrok because the limited field time was cut short due to an unscheduled stop at Aelon-in Kuwajleen (Kwajalein Atoll) for Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
