President Tommy E. Remengesau spoke to the National Environment Symposium (NES) this past Tuesday on a theme which prevailed throughout the conference: that marine conservationism and economic sustainability go hand-in-hand. In support of the marine protected areas in Palau and the other fishing restrictions, the President referenced “bul”, the traditional moratorium on fishing during times of scarcity. “Bul is not for the fish,” the President said. “It is for making sure people survive.”
