What to Know About Nanumaga
Key Facts
Nanumaga is a coral atoll and one of the nine districts of Tuvalu, located in the Pacific Ocean. Situated in the northern part of the Tuvalu archipelago, Nanumaga lies approximately 100 kilometers northwest of the capital atoll, Funafuti. This small atoll has a land area of about 3 square kilometers and a population of around 500 people, making it one of the smaller inhabited islands in Tuvalu. Nanumaga consists of two main villages, Tonga and Matagi, which are connected by a single road running along the narrow island. The atoll features a central lagoon surrounded by fertile land used for subsistence agriculture, primarily growing pulaka (swamp taro) in pits. Nanumaga is divided into two main administrative areas corresponding to its two villages. The island's economy relies heavily on fishing, copra production, and remittances from Tuvaluans working abroad. As with other Tuvaluan islands, Nanumaga faces significant challenges from rising sea levels and climate change.
