beach and ocean goers.

the city and regional Marine Department and Sawang Boriboon Foundation
April 10. The increased visibility of the joint safety effort ran

Cooperating in the program are the marine police, marine departments,
city hall, Sawang Boriboon and marine volunteers.
The officers provided safety information for tour boat operators and
inspected boats to check for overcrowding.
