Great Blue Wild

Palau is a tiny country with a big story. In 2009, this island nation in the middle of the western Pacific Ocean created the world's first shark sanctuary to protect more than 100 shark species from reckless overfishing and the brutal practice of commercial shark finning. Then, in 2014, Palau once again led the way. It established the world's largest marine sanctuary - a no-go zone for foreign commercial fisheries nearly the size of California.
