The Marshall Islands has been hosting an international scientific expedition whose findings will also help with local marine conservation efforts.

A team of scientists from the National Geographic Pristine Seas initiative are surveying four of the Micronesian nation's 29 atolls as part of their wider work in the Pacific.

RNZ Pacific's Moera Tuilaepa-Taylor has this report.
