In 2009, Palau became the world’s first national shark sanctuary, ending all commercial shark fishing in our waters and giving a sanctuary for sharks to live and reproduce in our 237,000 square miles of ocean.

Witness the wonders of our seventeen species of sharks that will thrive because of the efforts of dedicated individuals that have worked towards the goal of protecting these amazing creatures.
