The Republic of Palau🇵🇼 is embarking on an ambitious journey to safeguard its ocean resources. 

With support from the Pacific Community and funding through the U.S. Department of State, Palau is developing a Marine Spatial Plan (MSP) to help manage activities like fishing, conservation, and tourism. 

At the heart of the MSP process, is the inclusion of all ocean users, especially communities. By working together, Palau hopes to map out how best to ensure sustainable, inclusive and resilient ocean-based economic development while preserving its unique ecosystems.

The support to Palau is part of the four-year SPC Climate-Resilient Marine Spatial Planning project, working across several Pacific Island Countries and Territories.
