Many marine conservation and management efforts throughout the Republic of Palau involve communities that are working with LMMA projects. Most of these projects integrate traditional tenure and knowledge with contemporary strategies for management and monitoring. LMMA Network activities in Palau have been focused in the capital of Koror and in Hatohobei State in the Southwest Islands.

Since 2002, the Helen Reef Resource Management Project, a provisional member, has been active in Network activities, sharing experiences at Network-wide events and locally with other practitioners and community members in Palau. Being the only active LMMA Network site in Palau, the Helen Reef Project has operated largely on its own. The Palau Conservation Society, an associate member of the Network, stays informed of Network activities and approaches. There are hopes that more Palauan communities and projects will become involved in the LMMA Network as well as other supporting networks so that sharing and learning will increase.
