A diver swims with fish in the clear waters off of Palau Misa.

Pulau is an island nation in the northern Pacific Ocean, located some 700 km east of the Philippines, perched on the Kyushu-Palau Ridge. The westernmost cluster of the Caroline Islands consists of 20 large islands and 566 smaller islands and is one of the world's youngest and least populated nations.

Almost 90% of the world’s marine fish stocks are now fully exploited, overexploited or depleted.
