Description of the flag

On July 21 Iroijlaplap's (paramount chief) Michael Kabua coronation was held in the Marshall Islands: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6EysTdnuuWs

During the ceremony several atoll and island flags were on display: https://www.facebook.com/media 

Some of these seem more like paintings, probably not official flags but specially made for the occasion. A "flag" was displayed for Namu, but I have been unable to confirm its use.

It seems that the flag displayed for Namu on July 21, 2022 for Iroijlaplap's (paramount chief) Michael Kabua coronation may have been officially adopted: https://www.facebook.com/photo

Reddit-designed flag (2024)

From this year's Manit Week/Flag Day we can see in a video from the Majuro Middle School, where in in minute 2:21 a kid displays a flag for Namo (or Namu) atoll: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1076362074063884

I was wondering if the atoll has already changed its flag. But then after a little bit of search I realized that it s in fact a flag redesign from Reddit!

where both shades of blue represent the sea, the diagonal stripe is the proportional shape of the atoll, and the flying fish represents the sea fauna.
