Customary and traditional owners of wetos (land running across atolls from the lagoon to the ocean) filed suit arising out of the grounding of a vessel, seeking monetary damages for injury allegedly caused to a reef in the lagoon and the associated "marine resources" by the grounding. The Kabuas concededly do not have ownership interest in the submerged lands, but assert that they have standing based on their traditional rights to protect and pursue damages for injury to natural resources.
