Palau pioneers 'shark sanctuary'

[kosmonooit]

Good news!

"Palau is to create the world's first "shark sanctuary", banning all commercial shark fishing in its waters."

BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Palau pioneers 'shark sanctuary'

I have just watched "Paradise for Predators Sharks of Palau" recorded off Discovery HD, perhaps it was that intervention / publicity that helped?

Fanstastic news... the difficult part will be policing it and enforcing the ban.

Lets hope it sets a precedent for the rest of the world.
