Serving as a conduit between the open ocean and the lagoon, the Tumakohua Pass plays a crucial role in the ecological balance of the atoll. The exchange of water allows for nutrient-rich currents to flow into the lagoon, supporting an incredible diversity of marine life. This natural ebb and flow create a dynamic underwater landscape that is crucial for the health of both the coral reefs and the species that depend on them. The importance of such passes in marine biology and ecology cannot be overstated, as they are vital to the life cycle of various marine organisms, including the endangered species that find refuge in these protected waters.
