National Motto
"Klaloik a Belau" ("To Lead is to Serve")
This lake is home to millions of golden jellyfish, and you can swim among them without fear, as they have lost their stinging ability due to the lake's isolated environment.
Palau is famous for its world-class diving spots, some of which have been preserved for thousands of years, offering divers a glimpse into ancient marine ecosystems.
In 2009, Palau created the world's first shark sanctuary, protecting 600,000 square kilometers of ocean, which is about the size of France.
