Twenty-seven government, military and educational groups joined together to lay a large artificial reef and release 200,000 shrimp as part of a marine-environment restoration project in Bang Saray.
Groups including the Royal Thai Navy’s Recruit Training Center, Chonburi Integrated Coastal Management, Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi, Rambhai Barni Rajabhat University, municipal workers from Sattahip, Kledkaew, Jomtien, Khet Udomsak and Samae San; the Sriracha Fishery Research Station, Ubon Fish Co. and others participated in the March 22 event.
Local officials gather around the soon to be installed artificial reefs in Bang Saray.
The frame of the large reef will be supported by 90 floating buoys. Once developed, the coral is expected to boost the local fish population and also make Bang Saray an eco-tourism stop.
Bang Saray Mayor Pinsom Nimsuwan said the new reef is part of the area’s aggressive action to rehabilitate the battered marine ecosystem and preserve it.
