local.seafdecaqd.extract	In an attempt to protect the coral reefs that divers so admire they have dubbed them underwater Serengeti, the Pacific nation of Palau will soon ban many types of sunscreen. President Tommy Remengesau Jr. last week signed legislation that bans "reef toxic" sunscreen from 2020. Banned sunscreens will be confiscated from tourists who carry them into the country, and merchants selling the banned products will be fined up to $1,000. Remengesau said in a statement that the penalties find the right balance between "educating tourists and scaring them away".	en
