An interview with President of Palau, Johnson Toribiong by Annie Crawley has been posted onto YouTube. He talks about declaring Palau a shark sanctuary to the United Nations and the need to protect all marine resources. President Toribiong believes we need the next generation to experience and love the Ocean so they grow up wanting to protect it. He states that:

“The need to protect our sharks much outweighs the need to enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup.”
