The Rock Islands of Palau is a unique and unmistakable site. It is not uncommon to hear comparisons between this very real place and the fictional world of James Cameron's Pandora. Administratively, the Rock Islands lie in The State of Koror, the most populous of this thinly populated Republic. The Koror State Government is responsible for monitoring and regulating the use of The Rock Islands. They have defined six conservation zones for The Rock Islands ranging from General Use followed by Subsistence Fishing, through Preservation, Conservation, and Tourism, to the most restrictive management category, Special Management.
