		The most important atolls and islands form two groups: the Ratak Chain and the Ralik Chain (meaning "sunrise" and "sunset" chains).

	ISLAND HOPPING THE MARSHALLS
		For the adventuresome angler, however, legendary fishing venues such as Bikini Atoll are only a starting point in tapping the wealth of gamefish opportunities to be found among the 29 atolls and five single islands comprising the Marshall Islands.
		After a rewarding trip to Bikini in September, 1999, it occurred to me that most of the atolls with their characteristic loop of islands strung together by coral reefs are either uninhabited or lightly populated – one of the positive trademarks for a pristine fishing experience.
		Atolls are irregular in shape with many having finger-like points that create visible current eddies and upwellings, providing a richer biomass environment than the open ocean.

	Mili Atoll
		After the occupation of Kiribati, prepairations at Mili were stepped up, with the development of the air base in the autumn of 1942 when the Korean and Marshallese labor force completed the base at Majuro, and were transfered to Mili.
		The base was begun very late in the war, when Japanese resources were being stretched and when Japanese shipping was under attack by U.S. submarines, the base development is characterised by a relative absence of large concrete structures, such as command buildings, power stations or bunkers.
		As the war turned against the Japanese, Mili was the target of eighteen months of ceaseless bombing by US aircraft.
