The Pacific nation of Palau will soon ban many types of sunscreen in an effort to protect its coral reefs. President Tommy Remengesau Jr. signed legislation recently that bans “reef-toxic” sunscreen beginning in 2020. The law defines reef-toxic sunscreen as containing any one of 10 chemicals, including oxybenzone. Other chemicals may also be banned. Officials will take banned sunscreens from visitors who carry them into the country. Businesses that sell the banned products will be fined up to $1,000. In a statement, Remengesau said that the punishments find the right balance between “educating tourists and scaring them away.” The law also requires tour operators to start providing customers with reusable cups, drinking straws and food containers. The president said the legislation was introduced based on information from a 2017 report. The report found that sunscreen products were widespread in Palau’s famous Jellyfish Lake.
