Palau, a Pacific island nation comprising 340 islands, hosted the world’s first live underwater interview to highlight the importance of ocean conservation. The interview utilised the innovative LiFi Talking Mask technology, which transmits sound underwater using light, allowing clear communication beneath the sea. Palau’s initiative emphasises the nation’s vulnerability to rising sea levels and its commitment to protecting marine ecosystems. This pioneering event combined technology, awareness, and environmental advocacy, setting a global example for creative methods to engage the public in marine conservation and climate change awareness.
