Located in the mangroves. IMG_9639.jpg

This pigpen is on the main highway that goes around Pohnpei in the municipality of U. As the tide comes in, the waste from the pigs is washed out to sea along with any disease that it may carry such as the potentially deadly Leptospirosis.

Pigs, per the EPA are to be a minimum of 50 feet from any water.

this has always been the struggle between the economic consequences and health consequences of pohnpei. This is one example.. There are legislation created but we lack enforcement,that is our major problem.
