Palau Aquarium Permanent Exhibition Renewal
Renew exhibitions to
1) Using Palauan names for animals, as long as we can.
2) Including Palau traditions.
3) Using illustration a lot instead of long text.
4) Using easy interactive things, but no digital tools. (Because electricity fee is expensive in Palau.)

1) Palauan names
Despite Palauan has a lot of words for the animals and plants, mostly foreign guides don't use that name and call them with English or foreign languages. Recently, even Palauan children are getting along to use English. Passing own language to next generation is the one of the important mission for Palau Aquarium.
2) Palau traditions
Exhibition include not only science information but also how Palauan have used those resources long time.
3) Illustrations
Making easy to understand even for children.
4) Simple interactive tools
For children, make exhibition more attractive. But we try to do it without digital tools and electricity, like modern science museum. Because Palau is small island, there is limited resource, limited logistics, limited human resource.
