The 300 or so residents of Pohnpei's Nukuoro Atoll are mainly subsistence farmers, but former Chief Magistrate George Steven during the past several years has jump-started an earlier attempt by the community to farm fl pearls in the atoll's calm, warm waters, using oysters that already live there.

 Federated States of Micronesia v Kotobuki Maru No 23 [1993] FMSC 31; 6 FSM Intrm. 159 (Pon. 1993) (23 August 1993)
The Government alleges that, on the morning of March 19, 1993, the Palikir was patrolling the EEZ in the vicinity of Nukuoro Atoll when it obtained radar contact with a vessel at about 0900.
Given the fact that both vessels had been drifting east toward Nukuoro for over 1½ hours by then, it is impossible for the vessels to be 7.2 miles from Nukuoro at 1115 and be 10 miles from Nukuoro at 1311.
Furthermore, even if the Kotobuki No. 25 were inside the 12 mile zone of Nukuoro when it came to a full stop, it would have, at that point, been waiting for the Palikir to approach it and would not have been searching for fish in full view of the Palikir.
