This video presents an extended look at the MMDC ocean nursery for giant clams as it appeared in 1989. MMDC is the acronym for Micronesian Mariculture Demonstration Center in Koror, Palau. The facility is now (2010) called PMDC, the Palau Mariculture Demonstration Center.
By 1990 the MMDC ocean nursery contained over 10,000 mature, captive-bred broodstock of the threatened bivalve mollusc species Tridacna derasa, of ages 6-11 years post- fertilization. All of these T. derasa specimens were produced in the land-based tanks shown in the other videos on this YouTube channel. At the time this video was taken, this assemblage of mature clams constituted the world's largest genetic repository, or gene bank, of captive-bred Tridacna derasa.
By the early 1990s the aggregate weight of the captive-bred clams in this nursery exceeded 100 tons.
With 10,000 mature broodstock clams, the adjacent MMDC hatchery had the capacity to conduct 250 spawning events per year (5 per week for 50 weeks per year), each with a "critical mass" of 40 specimens at a time, while still allowing a full one-year recovery period for each clam in the nursery before using it again for spawning.
Full reproductive independence from wild stocks of Tridacna derasa had thus been achieved. This represented an important milestone in the demonstration that tridacnid clams could be domesticated, with routine and reliable egg-to-egg control over their life cycle.
The sheer reproductive capacity of the MMDC ocean clam nursery and hatchery in 1990 had never been achieved elsewhere, and to our knowledge has not since been surpassed, for T. derasa or any other tridacnid clam species.
This facility remains in production today (September, 2010) as PMDC, the Palau Mariculture Demonstration Center.

Palau President Tommy Remengesau Jr. has signed a legislation merging the Palau Public Utilities Corporation (PPUC) and the Palau Water and Sewer Corporation into one state owned enterprise.
On June 6, the President signed the Utilities Consolidation Act before members of the Senate, the House of Delegates, traditional leaders and State Governors at the Palasia Hotel.
The newly merged corporation will be known as the Palau Public Utilities Corporation. According to the President's office, the legislation would provide cost-savings through a number of consolidated services such shared customer service staff, meter reading and billing preparation, and a single billing document.
The President expressed that in signing the bill, the Republic will takes significant step towards reforming its public utilities.
With the signing of the bill, Palau will be able to receive the second portion of the $16 million dollar Asia Development Bank (ADB) loan.
The new law will become effective through executive order by the President. However, the President can order certain provisions of the act to take effect at different times.
In addition to the Utilities Consolidation Act, the President also signed the 2013 fiscal year budget and the tobacco legislation into law.

The Palau Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has issued a decision upholding guilty verdicts for defendants facing criminal charges in connection to the Pacific Savings Bank case.
The Appellate Division upheld the guilty verdicts against Deborah Rengiil, Margo Llecholch and Sherry Tadao for multiple counts of cheating, grand larceny, embezzlement and money laundering.
The defendants, who were granted conditional pardons in early January 2013 by then President Johnson Toribiong, argued that their due process and Constitutional rights were violated.
The Appellate Division found that the defendants' rights to due process were not violated and their argument that their right to counsel was violated was without merit, concluding that there was no reason to overturn the convictions.
The three women were convicted of several criminal charges of grand larceny and money laundering in 2011 following a six-year investigation and a three-week trial before former Associate Justice Alexandra Foster.
In September 2012, depositors with unpaid claims of less than $100,000 were reimbursed as a result of the Republic of China-Taiwan's generosity.

MMDC's hatchery strategy was to achieve total independence from wild giant clam populations. This goal was achieved for Tridacna derasa. As of March, 1990, the MMDC Giant Clam Ocean Nursery contained more than 10,000 mature first- and second-generation Tridacna derasa, ranging in age from 6-11 years. These specimens constituted the world's largest captive-bred giant clam gene bank.
Hundreds of mature wild broodstock specimens of Tridacna gigas and Tridacna squamosa were also present in the nursery. Thousands of first-generation Hippopus hippopus and hundreds of Hippopus porcellanus were also raised to full maturity (male and female phase) at MMDC.
By 1994, thousands of H. Hippopus first-generation offspring were raised to full male/female phase maturity entirely in land-based tanks in only 3 years, with daily supplements of dissolved inorganic nitrogen. This breakthrough proved that the entire life cycle of H. hippopus could be completed in land-based tanks, without the need of an ocean nursery.

Palau (/pəˈlaʊ/, sometimes spelled Belau or Pelew), officially the Republic of Palau (Palauan: Beluu er a Belau), is an island country located in the western Pacific Ocean. It is geographically part of the larger island group of Micronesia. The country's population of around 21,000 is spread across 250 islands forming the western chain of the Caroline Islands. The most populous island is Koror. The islands share maritime boundaries with Indonesia, the Philippines, and the Federated States of Micronesia. The capital Ngerulmud is located in Melekeok State on the nearby island of Babeldaob.
The country was originally settled around 3,000 years ago by migrants from the Philippines and sustained a Negrito population until around 900 years ago. The islands were first visited by Europeans in the 18th century, and were made part of the Spanish East Indies in 1885. Following Spain's defeat in the Spanish--American War in 1898, the islands were sold to Imperial Germany in 1899 under the terms of the German--Spanish Treaty, where they were administered as part of German New Guinea. The Imperial Japanese Navy conquered Palau during World War I, and the islands were later made a part of the Japanese-ruled South Pacific Mandate by the League of Nations. During World War II, skirmishes, including the major Battle of Peleliu, were fought between American and Japanese troops as part of the Mariana and Palau Islands campaign. Along with other Pacific Islands, Palau was made a part of the United States-governed Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands in 1947. Having voted against joining the Federated States of Micronesia in 1979, the islands gained full sovereignty in 1994 under a Compact of Free Association with the United States.

Australian aid saves lives: http://www.savethechildren.org.au/aid4change
Vanuatu is vulnerable to natural hazards because it sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. Cyclones, droughts and flooding also pose a threat to the country. Disaster responses are often slow due to the remote locations of many communities.
Children are the most vulnerable members of a community during natural hazards because of their age and dependency on others. Children often face heightened risks including family separation, psychological distress and physical harm.
Save the Children is working with schools in Vanuatu to integrate Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) principles into their teaching and management practices, through the development of school evacuation plans and the introduction of DRR focused games and lessons.

Gene bank
Gene banks are a type of biorepository which preserve genetic material. For plants, this could be by freezing cuttings from the plant, or stocking the seeds (e.g. in a seedbank). For animals, this is the freezing of sperm and eggs in zoological freezers until further need. With corals, fragments are taken which are stored in water tanks under controlled conditions.
Plant genetic material in a 'gene bank' is preserved at -280° Celsius in Liquid Nitrogen as mature seed (dry).
In plants, it is possible to unfreeze the material and propagate it, however, in animals, a living female is required for artificial insemination. While it is often difficult to use frozen animal sperm and eggs, there are many examples of it being done successfully.
In an effort to conserve agricultural biodiversity, gene banks are used to store and conserve the plant genetic resources of major crop plants and their crop wild relatives. There are many gene banks all over the world, with the Svalbard Global Seed Vault being probably the most famous one.

PalauPalau
Palau (/pəˈlaʊ/, sometimes spelled Belau or Pelew), officially the Republic of Palau (Palauan: Beluu er a Belau), is an island country located in the western Pacific Ocean. It is geographically part of the larger island group of Micronesia. The country's population of around 21,000 is spread across 250 islands forming the western chain of the Caroline Islands. The most populous island is Koror. The islands share maritime boundaries with Indonesia, the Philippines, and the Federated States of Micronesia. The capital Ngerulmud is located in Melekeok State on the nearby island of Babeldaob. The country was originally settled around 3,000 years ago by migrants from the Philippines and sustained a Negrito population until around 900 years ago. The islands were first visited by Europeans in the 18th century, and were made part of the Spanish East Indies in 1885. Following Spain's defeat in the Spanish--American War in 1898, the islands were sold to Imperial Germany in 1899 under the terms of the German--Spanish Treaty, where they were administered as part of German New Guinea. The Imperial Japanese Navy conquered Palau during World War I, and the islands were later made a part of the Japanese-ruled South Pacific Mandate by the League of Nations. During World War II, skirmishes, including the major Battle of Peleliu, were fought between American and Japanese troops as part of the Mariana and Palau Islands campaign. Along with other Pacific Islands, Palau was made a part of the United States-governed Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands in 1947. Having voted against joining the Federated States of Micronesia in 1979, the islands gained full sovereignty in 1994 under a Compact of Free Association with the United States.

This video presents an extended look at the MMDC ocean nursery for giant clams as it appeared in 1989. MMDC is the acronym for Micronesian Mariculture Demonstration Center in Koror, Palau. The facility is now (2010) called PMDC, the Palau Mariculture Demonstration Center.
By 1990 the MMDC ocean nursery contained over 10,000 mature, captive-bred broodstock of the threatened bivalve mollusc species Tridacna derasa, of ages 6-11 years post- fertilization. All of these T. derasa specimens were produced in the land-based tanks shown in the other videos on this YouTube channel. At the time this video was taken, this assemblage of mature clams constituted the world's largest genetic repository, or gene bank, of captive-bred Tridacna derasa.
By the early 1990s the aggregate weight of the captive-bred clams in this nursery exceeded 100 tons.
With 10,000 mature broodstock clams, the adjacent MMDC hatchery had the capacity to conduct 250 spawning events per year (5 per week for 50 weeks per year), each with a "critical mass" of 40 specimens at a time, while still allowing a full one-year recovery period for each clam in the nursery before using it again for spawning.
Full reproductive independence from wild stocks of Tridacna derasa had thus been achieved. This represented an important milestone in the demonstration that tridacnid clams could be domesticated, with routine and reliable egg-to-egg control over their life cycle.
The sheer reproductive capacity of the MMDC ocean clam nursery and hatchery in 1990 had never been achieved elsewhere, and to our knowledge has not since been surpassed, for T. derasa or any other tridacnid clam species.
This facility remains in production today (September, 2010) as PMDC, the Palau Mariculture Demonstration Center.

By Rolynda Jonathan
Palau President Tommy Remengesau Jr. has signed a legislation merging the Palau Public Utilities Corporation (PPUC) and the Palau Water and Sewer Corporation into one state owned enterprise.
On June 6, the President signed the Utilities Consolidation Act before members of the Senate, the House of Delegates, traditional leaders and State Governors at the Palasia Hotel.
The newly merged corporation will be known as the Palau Public Utilities Corporation. According to the President's office, the legislation would provide cost-savings through a number of consolidated services such shared customer service staff, meter reading and billing preparation, and a single billing document.
The President expressed that in signing the bill, the Republic will takes significant step towards reforming its public utilities.
With the signing of the bill, Palau will be able to receive the second portion of the $16 million dollar Asia Development Bank (ADB) loan.
The new law will become effective through executive order by the President. However, the President can order certain provisions of the act to take effect at different times.
In addition to the Utilities Consolidation Act, the President also signed the 2013 fiscal year budget and the tobacco legislation into law.

The Palau Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has issued a decision upholding guilty verdicts for defendants facing criminal charges in connection to the Pacific Savings Bank case.
The Appellate Division upheld the guilty verdicts against Deborah Rengiil, Margo Llecholch and Sherry Tadao for multiple counts of cheating, grand larceny, embezzlement and money laundering.
The defendants, who were granted conditional pardons in early January 2013 by then President Johnson Toribiong, argued that their due process and Constitutional rights were violated.
The Appellate Division found that the defendants' rights to due process were not violated and their argument that their right to counsel was violated was without merit, concluding that there was no reason to overturn the convictions.
The three women were convicted of several criminal charges of grand larceny and money laundering in 2011 following a six-year investigation and a three-week trial before former Associate Justice Alexandra Foster.
In September 2012, depositors with unpaid claims of less than $100,000 were reimbursed as a result of the Republic of China-Taiwan's generosity.

MMDC's hatchery strategy was to achieve total independence from wild giant clam populations. This goal was achieved for Tridacna derasa. As of March, 1990, the MMDC Giant Clam Ocean Nursery contained more than 10,000 mature first- and second-generation Tridacna derasa, ranging in age from 6-11 years. These specimens constituted the world's largest captive-bred giant clam gene bank.
Hundreds of mature wild broodstock specimens of Tridacna gigas and Tridacna squamosa were also present in the nursery. Thousands of first-generation Hippopus hippopus and hundreds of Hippopus porcellanus were also raised to full maturity (male and female phase) at MMDC.
By 1994, thousands of H. Hippopus first-generation offspring were raised to full male/female phase maturity entirely in land-based tanks in only 3 years, with daily supplements of dissolved inorganic nitrogen. This breakthrough proved that the entire life cycle of H. hippopus could be completed in land-based tanks, without the need of an ocean nursery.

MMDC's hatchery strategy was to achieve total independence from wild giant clam populations. This goal was achieved for Tridacna derasa. As of March, 1990, the MMDC Giant Clam Ocean Nursery contained more than 10,000 mature first- and second-generation Tridacna derasa, ranging in age from 6-11 years. These specimens constituted the world's largest captive-bred giant clam gene bank.
Hundreds of mature wild broodstock specimens of Tridacna gigas and Tridacna squamosa were also present in the nursery. Thousands of first-generation Hippopus hippopus and hundreds of Hippopus porcellanus were also raised to full maturity (male and female phase) at MMDC.
By 1994, thousands of H. Hippopus first-generation offspring were raised to full male/female phase maturity entirely in land-based tanks in only 3 years, with daily supplements of dissolved inorganic nitrogen. This breakthrough proved that the entire life cycle of H. hippopus could be completed in land-based tanks, without the need of an ocean nursery.

Palau (/pəˈlaʊ/, sometimes spelled Belau or Pelew), officially the Republic of Palau (Palauan: Beluu er a Belau), is an island country located in the western Pacific Ocean. It is geographically part of the larger island group of Micronesia. The country's population of around 21,000 is spread across 250 islands forming the western chain of the Caroline Islands. The most populous island is Koror. The islands share maritime boundaries with Indonesia, the Philippines, and the Federated States of Micronesia. The capital Ngerulmud is located in Melekeok State on the nearby island of Babeldaob.
The country was originally settled around 3,000 years ago by migrants from the Philippines and sustained a Negrito population until around 900 years ago. The islands were first visited by Europeans in the 18th century, and were made part of the Spanish East Indies in 1885. Following Spain's defeat in the Spanish--American War in 1898, the islands were sold to Imperial Germany in 1899 under the terms of the German--Spanish Treaty, where they were administered as part of German New Guinea. The Imperial Japanese Navy conquered Palau during World War I, and the islands were later made a part of the Japanese-ruled South Pacific Mandate by the League of Nations. During World War II, skirmishes, including the major Battle of Peleliu, were fought between American and Japanese troops as part of the Mariana and Palau Islands campaign. Along with other Pacific Islands, Palau was made a part of the United States-governed Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands in 1947. Having voted against joining the Federated States of Micronesia in 1979, the islands gained full sovereignty in 1994 under a Compact of Free Association with the United States.

Australian aid saves lives: http://www.savethechildren.org.au/aid4change
Vanuatu is vulnerable to natural hazards because it sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. Cyclones, droughts and flooding also pose a threat to the country. Disaster responses are often slow due to the remote locations of many communities.
Children are the most vulnerable members of a community during natural hazards because of their age and dependency on others. Children often face heightened risks including family separation, psychological distress and physical harm.
Save the Children is working with schools in Vanuatu to integrate Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) principles into their teaching and management practices, through the development of school evacuation plans and the introduction of DRR focused games and lessons.

Palau Travel Video - The Republic of Palau is inimitable. Most Travelists who come here like to spend their time underwater, for Palau is among the worlds most spectacular diving and snorkelling destinations. It features coral reefs, blue holes, wartime wrecks, hidden caves and tunnels, more than 60 vertical drop-offs to play with, and an astonishing spectrum of coral, fish, and rare sea creatures. There are also some outright miracles of evolution: giant clams that weigh a quarter of a ton, for example, and a lake teeming with 21 million softly pulsating, stingless jellyfish. But you dont have to get wet to enjoy Palau. On land the republic embraces Micronesias richest flora and fauna: exotic birds fly around the islands, crocodiles slip through the mangrove swamps and orchids sprout pro...

Palau Road Trip
We decided to rent a car in The Republic of Palau, a chain of islands in the South Pacific between the Philippines and Guam. Across from our hotel, the Palau Hotel was a rent-a-car place that was really inexpensive! $30 a day for the whole day! While Jess loves to plan out adventures, Ben enjoys spur of the moment days. We drove around the 16 states of Palau and saw a few cool spots. We stumbled upon the Etpison Museum and learned about Palauan culture and history and ended the day at the Nagadrmau Waterfall! We got a bit lost looking for the waterfall, but after a 20 minute hike found the main trail and got to play in the water. It then started to rain and we had to stomp around in the mud on the way up. Luckily we had a dry bag to protect our camera gear. All in all, it was quite an ...

Forget about Hawaii, forget about Bali, forget your image of "paradise" because you haven't witnessed it until you've been to Palau! My family and I went on a weekend getaway to the pristine waters of, what many refer to as, the Pearl of the Pacific. In our modern and, more often than not, artificial world, it is a rarity to be able to experience a place so natural and untouched.

Palau /pəˈlaʊ/ (help·info), officially the Republic of Palau (Palauan: Beluu er a Belau), is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, some 500 miles (800 km) east of the Philippines and 2,000 miles (3,200 km) south of Tokyo. Having emerged from United Nations trusteeship (administered by the United States) in 1994, it is one of the world's youngest and smallest sovereign states. In English, the name is sometimes spelled Belau in accordance with the native pronunciation. It was formerly also spelled Pelew.[3]
Palau's most populous islands are Angaur, Babeldaob, Koror, and Peleliu. The latter three lie together within the same barrier reef, while Angaur is an oceanic island several miles to the south. About two-thirds of the population live on Koror. The coral atoll of Kayangel is situated north of these islands, while the uninhabited Rock Islands (about 200) are situated to the west of the main island group. A remote group of six islands, known as the Southwest Islands, some 375 miles (600 km) from the main islands, are also part of the country and make up the states of Hatohobei and Sonsorol.
[edit] Climate
Palau enjoys a tropical climate all year round with an annual mean temperature of 82 °F (28 °C). Rainfall can occur throughout the year, averaging a total of 150 inches (3,800 mm). The average humidity over the course of the year is 82%, and although rain falls more frequently between July and October, there is still much sunshine. Typhoons are rare, as Palau is outside the main typhoon zone.
Consists primarily of tourism, subsistence agriculture, and fishing. Tourist activity focuses on scuba diving and snorkeling in the islands' rich marine environment, including its barrier reefs walls and World War II wrecks. The government is the major employer of the work force, relying heavily on financial assistance from the US. Business and tourist arrivals numbered 50,000 in the financial year 2000/2001. The population enjoys a per capita income twice that of the Philippines and much of Micronesia. Long-term prospects for the key tourist sector have been greatly bolstered by the expansion of air travel in the Pacific, the rising prosperity of leading East Asian countries, and the willingness of foreigners to finance infrastructure development.
In July 2004, Palau Micronesia Air was launched with service from Palau to Yap, Guam, Micronesia, Saipan, Australia, and the Philippines. By offering low fares it was planned to be a competitor of Continental Micronesia, however it ceased operations in December of the same year, mainly because of rising fuel prices. Palau Micronesia Air has not restarted operations since but has made a codeshare alliance with Asian Spirit, a carrier that operates flights between Palau and the Philippines (Davao, Cebu, and Manila). There are two flights weekly from Manila via Cebu to Palau and one flight weekly from Davao. Just after few months of service, Asian Spirit ceased its Philippines to Palau route.
Taxes are moderate, the income tax has 3 brackets with medium rates (9.3%, 15% and 19.6%), corporate tax is 4% and general sales tax is 7.5%. There are no property taxes.

Tourist activity focuses on scuba diving and snorkeling in the islands' rich marine environment, including its barrier reefs walls and World War II wrecks. The government is the major employer of the work force, relying heavily on financial assistance from the US. Business and tourist arrivals numbered 50,000 in the financial year 2000/2001. The population enjoys a per capita income twice that of the Philippines and much of Micronesia. Long-term prospects for the key tourist sector have been greatly bolstered by the expansion of air travel in the Pacific, the rising prosperity of leading East Asian countries, and the willingness of foreigners to finance infrastructure development.
In July 2004, Palau Micronesia Air was launched with service from Palau to Yap, Guam, Micronesia, Saipan, Australia, and the Philippines. By offering low fares it was planned to be a competitor of Continental Micronesia, however it ceased operations in December of the same year, mainly because of rising fuel prices. Palau Micronesia Air has not restarted operations since but has made a codeshare alliance with Asian Spirit, a carrier that operates flights between Palau and the Philippines (Davao, Cebu, and Manila). There are two flights weekly from Manila via Cebu to Palau and one flight weekly from Davao. Just after few months of service, Asian Spirit ceased its Philippines to Palau route.
Taxes are moderate, the income tax has 3 brackets with medium rates (9.3%, 15% and 19.6%), corporate tax is 4% and general sales tax is 7.5%. There are no property taxes.

Palau Travel Video - The Republic of Palau is inimitable. Most Travelists who come here like to spend their time underwater, for Palau is among the worlds most spectacular diving and snorkelling destinations. It features coral reefs, blue holes, wartime wrecks, hidden caves and tunnels, more than 60 vertical drop-offs to play with, and an astonishing spectrum of coral, fish, and rare sea creatures. There are also some outright miracles of evolution: giant clams that weigh a quarter of a ton, for example, and a lake teeming with 21 million softly pulsating, stingless jellyfish.
But you dont have to get wet to enjoy Palau. On land the republic embraces Micronesias richest flora and fauna: exotic birds fly around the islands, crocodiles slip through the mangrove swamps and orchids sprout profusely in backyards. The Palauan archipelago is incredibly diverse, encompassing the polyglot state of Koror; the marvellous Rock Islands; Micronesias second-largest island, Babeldaob (the land that Pacific standard time forgot); Peleliu, once war ravaged, now just ravishing; tranquil, tiny Angaur; the coral atolls of Kayangel and Ngeruangel; and the remote South-West Islands.
Toss into the mix some of Micronesias most sociable (and responsible) people, and its no surprise that parts of Palau are known as the beginning of everything, a template the rest of the world would do well to follow.
About that responsibility: Palauans love a good, socially aware acronym, and you can see them everywhere on signs and billboards, like WAVE - Welcome All Visitors Enthusiastically or STARS - Start Treating Alcohol Related Symptoms. You might find yourself playing this game, too. And perhaps youll come to the same conclusion we did, that the name of this country is itself an acronym: Palaus Archipelago: Lovely and Unique.
Enjoy Your Palau Travel Video!

We decided to rent a car in The Republic of Palau, a chain of islands in the South Pacific between the Philippines and Guam. Across from our hotel, the Palau Hotel was a rent-a-car place that was really inexpensive! $30 a day for the whole day!
While Jess loves to plan out adventures, Ben enjoys spur of the moment days. We drove around the 16 states of Palau and saw a few cool spots. We stumbled upon the Etpison Museum and learned about Palauan culture and history and ended the day at the Nagadrmau Waterfall!
We got a bit lost looking for the waterfall, but after a 20 minute hike found the main trail and got to play in the water. It then started to rain and we had to stomp around in the mud on the way up. Luckily we had a dry bag to protect our camera gear. All in all, it was quite an adventure!
Thanks for watching!

Forget about Hawaii, forget about Bali, forget your image of "paradise" because you haven't witnessed it until you've been to Palau! My family and I went on a weekend getaway to the pristine waters of, what many refer to as, the Pearl of the Pacific. In our modern and, more often than not, artificial world, it is a rarity to be able to experience a place so natural and untouched. Enjoy this video I put together of my short-lived, but very eventful trip to Palau!
