Last update: 8 hours agoMarshall Islands U.S. cleanup partnership: The RMI Environmental Protection Authority and the U.S. Coast Guard are working on cleanup of now-closed LORAN stations, with a focus on possible PCB contamination from old electrical equipment—an effort aimed at protecting community health and the environment in densely populated areas like Majuro and Ebeye/Kwajalein. Food safety for Pacific seafood: Fisheries officials from Fiji, Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu met in Suva to prepare for new EU rules (Delegated Regulation EU 2025/1449) that tighten freezer-vessel temperature requirements; the changes could affect about 97% of EU-listed Pacific Island-flagged vessels and raise the risk of scombroid poisoning if tuna isn’t frozen correctly. Health and nutrition support context: While not Marshall Islands-specific, regional reporting highlights how communities are responding to health and wellbeing needs during breaks and crises—underscoring the importance of steady access to food and services. Universal basic income in Majuro: Enra payments continued with a larger May 28 distribution (about $200 per person), boosting household purchasing power amid high fuel, food, and transport costs. Tobacco warning: A tobacco-control warning from the region points to how rising costs can fuel illicit trade—relevant to Pacific health planning and enforcement priorities.
