Mastigias Jellyfish in Backlight, Mastigias papua etpisonii, Jellyfish Lake, Micronesia, Palau
The Pacific island nation of Palau has become home to the sixth largest marine sanctuary in the world.
The Micronesian reserve, now the largest in the Pacific, will permit no fishing or mining. Palau also established the world's first shark sanctuary in 2009.
The tiny island nation has set aside 500,000 square kilometres -- 80 percent -- of its maritime territory, for full protection. That's the highest percentage of an exclusive economic zone devoted to marine conservation by any country in the world. (FOTO: DUKAS/PHOTOSHOT)
