American Memorial Potential UXO Area
Garapan Fishing Basin
Garapan Fishing Basin
The area where American memorial Park is currently located was heavily defended, and therefore heavily bombarded as well. Unexploded ordnance is likely to be found both on land and in the coastal waters.
An area directly west of Garapan was also highlighted because it is where the supplies ship anchored and cargo transferred to smaller boats to be brought to shore. During transfer, it is possible some of the cargo was accidentally dropped into the sea and left to dereliction.
