“The strength and beauty of sharks are a natural
barometer for the health of our oceans.
Therefore, I declare today that Palau will become
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
unmolested in our 237,000 square miles of ocean.
We call upon all nations to join us.”
Johnson Toribiong, President of Palau,
in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly
on friday, September 25, 2009
