Pattaya officials released 10,000 fish and crabs into the sea as the
city marked World Environment Day.
Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome presided over the June 4 event, a day before
the official United Nations celebration to raise awareness about
environmental conservation, food shortages, energy crises and population
growth.
City workers joined staff of area hotels, the Naklua Bay Conservation
Group, students and teachers at Jomtien Beach, where they picked up
garbage and cleaned the shoreline. Workers from the city Public Health
and Environment Department’s Natural Resources Office then released the
white perch, blue crabs and other species of marine life.
