Abstract: This study investigates the recolonization patterns of supratidal fish populations at Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands, following significant ecological disturbances. The research primarily focuses on the dynamics of fish species that inhabit the supratidal zones, assessing both the recovery of these populations and the factors influencing their recolonization. The methodology includes field surveys and ecological assessments to quantify species diversity and abundance over time. Results indicate a gradual increase in fish populations, with variations linked to environmental conditions and habitat availability. The findings contribute to understanding the resilience of marine ecosystems in Micronesia, highlighting the importance of habitat restoration in promoting biodiversity.
