The fight over Palau's oceans
Manage episode 422744362 series 1897284
We travel to the tiny pacific nation which wants to shrink its marine sanctuary, and open it up once more to commercial fishing.
The President says it’s costing too much in lost revenue, when Palauans are already struggling.
But opponents say this goes against Palau's conservationist ethos.
So today we're asking - can conservation and commerce, co-exist?
