The Pacific Islands of Palau contain some of the world's most pristine coral reef ecosystems. The interaction between coral reefs, rainforests, inter-tidal wetlands and mangroves is explored. The indigenous people of Palau are developing management strategies to preserve the reefs. These include pollution control, fish conservation, aquaculture and ecotourism.
