		Tabuaeran is an atoll—one of the Line Islands of the central Pacific Ocean—located at Latitude 3° 51' 36" North – Longitude 159° 21' 52" West.
		Tabuaeran has a population of 1,500, principally Gilbertese settlers brought from Kiribati by Fanning Island Plantations, Ltd, to work in the copra industry (copra is the meat of the coconut).
		At some 900 miles distant, Tabuaeran is one of the closest landfalls to the Hawaiian Islands, and the atoll was possibly used as a stopover by the Polynesians who first settled Hawai'i.

	Line Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kiritimati is probably the largest and the oldest atoll in the Pacific (it is about 90 statute miles (150 km) in circuit and has the greatest land area of any atoll in the world), and was discovered by Captain Cook in 1777.
		The islands were annexed by Britain in 1888 with a view to laying the Pacific cable with Tabuaeran (then Fanning Island) as a relay station.
		Currently there are about 5,300 people on Kiritimati, 1,800 on Tabuaeran, and 2,000 on Teraina (also known as Washington Island) for a total of 9,100 on the Kiribatese portion.

		In Tabuaeran we have seen these and a few more, including one gray reef shark, three nurse sharks, a few large groupers, Napoleon wrasses, and a few bumphead parrotfishes.
		As we pointed out in previous dispatches, Tabuaeran is an improvement from Kiritimati, although these are poor statistics compared to the 20 sharks per dive that Jim Maragos saw here in 1972.
		Dead coral in Tabuaeran is covered by a pink crust of coralline algae and a small turf of red algae cropped as meticulously as the green in a golf course.

		Although the three Northern Line islands of Kiritimati, Tabuaeran and Teraina are still worked regularly, the problems with unfavourable world prices and the high shipping expenses continue to threaten the industry.
		Most other atolls have deep marine lagoons with many passages to the open sea, but on some islands, such as Tabuaeran (Fanning) in the Line Islands and Orona (Hull) and Nikumaroro (Gardner) in the Phoenix Islands, the lagoon is shallow and almost enclosed, with extensive intertidal mudflats and brackish marshes creating estuarine-like conditions.
		The isolated stands of mangroves in the Gilbert Islands and the distinctive saline and brackish lagoons in the Line and Phoenix Islands are of conservation interest, as are the freshwater habitats of Teraina (Washington).

		Born in Tarawa, the atoll-capital of the Kiribati Republic located almost 2,000 miles west of Tabuaeran atoll, Johny spent his childhood in a place where human population was about to explode.
		The population of Tarawa depleted the reef resources and polluted the lagoon, and the inhabitants of Kiritimati and Tabuaeran are on their way to deplete their fishes too.
		The second component of our field mission involved recovering a core from a living coral on Tabuaeran that can be used to calibrate the relationship between climate parameters and coral geochemistry.

		There are very few land birds in Kiribati and only one passerine, the Christmas Island Warbler or Bokikokiko (Acrocephalus aequinoctialis) which is known only from Teraina, Tabuaeran and Kiritimati in the Line Islands and Baker (a U.S. possession) at the northern end of the Phoenix Group.
		The island supports the largest surviving population of the Christmas Island Warbler or Bokikokiko (Acrocephalus aequinoctialis), which is known only from this island, Tabuaeran, Kiritimati and Baker.
		Noteworthy fauna: Tabuaeran was formerly an important seabird rookery with 12 breeding species, but populations are now much reduced and only about six species still breed regularly: White-tailed Tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus), Red-footed Booby (Sula sula), Great Frigatebird (Fregata minor), Brown Noddy (Anous stolidus), Black Noddy (A. minutus) and White Tern (Gygis alba).

		An island for gardens, an island for birds and voyaging: a settlement pattern for Kiritimati and Tabuaeran, two 'mystery islands' in the northern Lines, Republic of Kiribati.
		Presumably the island was temporarily used for bird and turtle hunting as well as for a base for long distance voyaging by the people of nearby Tabuaeran.
		Building on what we learned in the northern Lines helped us to recognize three classes of 'mystery islands' (mother communities such as Tabuaeran, satellites such as Kiritimati and isolates), defined by their role in regional interaction.
