EspañolLIST OF ISLANDS OF KIRIBATI
(Redirected from List of islands belonging to Kiribati)
The Republic of Kiribati consists of 32 atolls, one raised coral island, and many other reefs. These islands are dispersed throughout the three island groups that form Kiribati; the Gilbert, Phoenix and Line islands.
★ The lagoon areas marked with an asterisk are contained within the island areas of the previous column because they are, unlike in the case of a typical atoll, inland waters completely sealed off from the sea.
The islands and surrounding areas are home to some 120 species of coral and more than 500 species of fish. Kiribati has announced plans to establish a huge marine park. [1]
