Brilliant tropical reef fish beyond count, along with a full house of sharks, mantas, sea turtles, and bluewater fish Wrecks of ships and planes from an epic WWII battle Warm water, great visibility, almost pristine reefs Beginning to understand why Palau is a legendary dive destination? The Republic of Belau (as it is called by its residents) is actually a chain of 300-plus islands stretching across 400 miles southwest of Micronesia. The largest, Babeldaob, is mostly jungle, with hiking trails, wildlife ranging from cockatoos to crocodiles, a scattering of traditional villages, and an international airport. Just to the south, the capital of Koror is the commercial hub, complete with white-sand beaches, a scattering of resorts, sportfishing charters, and an interesting cultural museum. But the real jewels in this aquatic chain are the Rock Islands, which from the air look like patches of jungle green floating in a vast turquoise lagoon protected by a barrier reef. The diving is nothing less than phenomenal – and best of all, much of the action (including WWII wreck) is in water shallow enough for snorkeling. Of course, it helps when you can clearly see the bottom 50 feet down...

CARIBBEAN - St Vincent and the Grenadines Media article BELMAR FLIES SVG'S FLAG IN PALAU Belmar: I'm impressed with Palau's culture Herman Belmar was head teacher of the Bequia Anglican High School. He is now Industrial Arts, Science and Physical Education teacher at that same institution whose name has been changed to the Bequia Community High School. Belmar recently undertook an expedition, which carried him almost around the world. He returned home from Palau in the Pacific via Manila, Los Angeles, New York, San Juan, Canouan, back to Barbados before arriving at the E.T. Joshua airport. Belmar was taking part in a UNESCO sponsored Inter-regional conference. This was through a Small Islands Voice Youth Forum. Belmar is hoping to get other schools linked up to the programme in areas of sustainable development. By 2004 the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States is scheduled to be reviewed. Belmar's attendance at Palau went some way to broadening St. Vincent and the Grenadines' participation in this exercise.

PACIFIC - Palau Media articles Palau Seeks Environmental Identity By Scott Radway KOROR, Palau (March 25, 2002 - Pacific Daily News)-Uro Ikesakes started fishing in Airai Bay when he was a teen-ager, swimming side by side with his family and friends, spearing fish after fish from a bustling coral reef. Fishing in the bay was a way of life in the village. Things are different now, more than 50 years later, but not because he is any less of a fisherman. His aqua-blue bay, once home to a healthy coral reef, is now mud-red and home to almost nothing but algae. After a full day of fishing today, his cooler is maybe half full. 'We don't fish there anymore,' said the 68-year-old subsistence fisherman, his crow's-feet framing his wistful stare. His is an unusual story for Palau, a small Pacific island nation with a population of under 20,000, known the world over for its awing natural beauty and its abundance of fish. But his is a story some officials fear could become all too common if leaders don't plan well for the future. The cause of their alarm is a multimillion-dollar U.S. road project on the pristine island of Babeldaob that they say has brought Palau to a monumental environmental and cultural crossroad.

CONTACTS East Asian Investment in Palau: Implications and Consequences for a Developing Pacific Island Nation Research Outline by Eric Harwit, Asian Studies, University of Hawai'i at Manoa Project Objectives The goal of this project is to provide a comprehensive examination of Taiwanese investment practices in Palau, and to assess their impact on the economic, political, and cultural environment of the island state. The research will focus on specific projects, including land development and construction, tourism-related ventures, and exploitation of agriculture resources. In this way, it will contribute to completion of a relevant portion of the larger project, "Moving Cultures: Remaking Asia-Pacific Studies." This research will contribute to understanding several issues: Is Asian foreign investment in Palau proceeding in a planned, rational manner, or is it conducted in an ad hoc , detrimental fashion? How does the internal Palau political structure react to the investment efforts?

Finally his father could no longer spear enough fish, and his mother could not grow enough taro to keep his stomach full. Then Uab roared his disapproval. The island trembled in fear, and the entire population began bringing yams, coconuts, crabs, and fish to feed him. Soon all the people's gardens were bare as well. Their own children were crying in hunger. That's when the islanders knew Uab must be killed. They decided to set him afire.

About Us Island Projects News Supporters ... Donate Now Palau Yap Expedition Supporters of Seacology are invited to join Executive Director Duane Silverstein on a fascinating trip to the Micronesian Islands of Palau and Yap from February 11 - 21, 2000. This is the first in a series of annual excursions for friends of Seacology to some of the world's most interesting islands. We will spend six nights on Palau and three nights on Yap visiting the underwater and land-based sites that make these islands unique throughout the world. Palau's marine biodiversity is among the greatest on Earth. It has been selected as one of the seven underwater wonders of the world and is perennially chosen by divers as the world's number one dive destination. In Palau we will be doing four days of two-tank diving with Sam's Dive Tours, a recipient of Rodale's Scuba Diving magazine's Readers Choice Award. Seacology Advisory Board member Noah Idechong and the Palau Conservation Society will be our guides for interesting land and kayak-based tours of some of the most spectacular facets of Palau's culture and environment. Yap is one of the most traditional and culturally unchanged islands in the Pacific. Grass skirts are worn. Huge wheels of stone money are still highly valued. Underwater, Yap is famous for its giant manta rays. In Yap we will be doing two days of two-tank diving. Renowned environmentalist Marjorie Falanruw, director of the Yap Institute and a Seacology grant recipient, will show us some of Yap's unique natural and cultural wonders.

Palau Islands Oceania CULTURE Palau's social organization is highly complex and competitive. The race for money, prestige and power, the main thrust of which used to be for political power within a clan or village, was the focus from which most events occurred, such as sports competitions and wars. Palauan villages were, and still are, organized around 10 clans reckoned matrilineally. A council of chiefs from the 10 ranking clans governed the village, and a parallel council of their female counterparts held a significant advisory role in the control and division of land and money. Men and women had strictly defined roles to play in the continuity of the village. The sea was the domain of men who braved its fury to harvest the fish necessary to sustain the village and wage battle. Inter-village wars were common, so men spent a lot of time in the men's meeting houses mastering techniques of canoe building and refining their skills with weapons. Women, on the other hand, held sway in the home. They cultivated vegetables and harvested shellfish and sea cucumbers from the shallow reefs. Until the late 1800s Palauans were tattooed, with more ornate designs on women of high clan. Men wore their hair in tight buns and rubak, the important chiefs, wore bracelets made from the vertebrae of dugongs.
