About this listen

 COVID-19 has caused disruptions across the globe. Palau does not have any cases of COVID-19, but they have stopped tourism until it is safe for people to return as visitors to the island nation. As Palau is well known for its scenic islands and SCUBA diving spots, the shutdown of tourism has affected the local economy. Throughout the COVID-19 situation BIOTA has been educating local kids about their natural environment. Tom and his team do this by getting them involved with restocking a highly sort after food fish in Palau, called the Rabbit Fish (Singanidae lineatus & S. fuscecens).

Rabbit fish are an important herbivore within coral reef ecosystems and this outreach activity provides the youth with an important connection to nature.

"The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature." Joeseph Campbell.
