The Marshall islands with a population of just 68,000 people has just created the world's largest shark sanctuary measuring nearly 2 million km2. The sanctuary should not only protect sharks which are endangered because of the demand for their fins, but should also promote tourism, particular diving. Fishermen breaking the new regulations can be fined up to $300,000.
