Palauans are an island people with deep connections to the waters that surround them. Their reef is their livelihood. The ocean is the source of their food, identity, culture and their survival. Steven Victor, Director, Micronesia Program for The Nature Conservancy (TNC), is working with fisherman and local leaders to protect the reefs for future generations.
