The Government of Madagascar has created the country’s first marine sanctuary for sharks as part of a new law to safeguard the country’s marine resources and the communities that rely on them, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society.
In Micronesia, the next shark sanctuary is only one signature away!
Of course, Palau was the first ‘real’ shark sanctuary in 2009!
This picture, made by Peter Verhoog, welcomes visitors to Palau’s airport. Former President Toriboing happily points at it!
But how many shark sanctuaries are there in our world?
Unfortunately, declaring a shark sanctuary is not a solution in itself: the laws have to be reinforced, and for a number of small nations, this is a difficult matter due to lack of resources.
