In celebration of the Palau National Marine Sanctuary’s (PNMS) 8th Anniversary, the Palau International Coral Reef Center (PICRC) launched a call to all students from Kindergarten to PCC to submit a 2–3-minute film on what the ocean means to them and tying it to the importance of the PNMS. There were four (4) categories: K-4th grade, 5th-8th grade, high school, and PCC. The call for submissions opened on September 6th and closed on October 14th. A total of 17 submissions were received.
The Tal Ngimech – One Drop Film Festival was held on October 25th 2023 at PICRC. The event was a huge success, with 200+ people in the audience to view all the great video submissions.
