## Caption

"A bigger problem than illegal fishing in Palau is legal #overfishing. In the waters near Palau, much of it occurs with help from a FAD, or Fish Aggregating Device, which fish hover near for protection or mating. These dense schools make it easy for fishermen to scoop them up. Several countries have instituted caps on FAD numbers to prevent overfishing." - benlowy | August 2015 | #GettyImagesNews #WildlifeWednesday
