Researchers have found that tuna spawn within boundaries of the Palau National Marine Sanctuary, suggesting that the secured area potentially provides protections for tuna during key life stages.
"This finding is in line with past research on tropical tuna larvae and spawning activity, which are widely distributed in the Pacific Ocean and have previously observed within other large-scale marine protected areas", states a report based on the reserach project led by the Palau International Coral Reef Centre.
