Did you know.....the islands of Tahiti are home to the world's largest marine sanctuary 🐠🐟🐬🐋

For nearly 30 years, Tahiti has reserved its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) exclusively for the Polynesian fishing fleet and banned any fishing methods other than line fishing. In 2002, a marine mammal sanctuary was established to protect whales and dolphins in these pristine waters – including strict rules around interactions with these species. Which means visitors can make the most of this glorious marine environment ❤
