The Waan Aelõñ in Majel – Canoes of the Marshall Islands (WAM) Catamaran construction manual is a knowledge tool for the Marshallese community to create their sustainable transportation with existing materials within the Marshall Islands. One out of two manuals, the Catamaran was published under the Transitioning to Low Carbon Sea Transport (LCST) project, this construction manual is a joint effort between WAM, the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ), Hochschule Emden-Leer (HEL), and the Republic of the Marshall Islands and its ministries and authorities. As a low-lying nation in the middle of the Pacific, the RMI relies heavily on sea transportation for importing. A WAM Catamaran construction manual will help combat and decrease the community’s—or any interested mariners’—reliance on diesel-powered vessels.
