Over 100 sea cucumbers, mostly sandfish species have recently washed ashore on Valevale Beach at Pango. Most of them were found to be still alive but weak, according to observations by the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-Hazards Department (VMGD) Impact Data Team.

On November 30, 2020, Bureau of Marine Resources (BMR) and Ebiil Society announced the first successful breeding of sea cucumber in the lab in Palau. Sea cucumber (Molech), is one of the local seafood species of high cultural and economic value, especially among Palauan fisherwomen.
