About Majuro
Majuro is the capital of the Marshall Islands, with about 25,000 residents on a narrow coral atoll in the central Pacific, sitting just a few meters above sea level. The local economy combines government, fisheries license revenue, port activity, services, and a major reliance on US Compact of Free Association funding that has long structured the country's budget and gives Marshallese citizens specific rights to live and work in the United States. Marshallese and English are both official languages, with English used in government and business. The climate is tropical with consistent warmth and high humidity, and the country is among the most directly exposed to sea level rise and freshwater intrusion globally. Majuro suits relocators with US federal, fisheries, NGO, or specific aid sector employment rather than general migration.
