Coral reef damage after heavy
(16 January) said at Kasemsan Chi Wah So at the Department of Marine and Coastal. Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, said preparation has filed a proposed National Park. Close to Koh Similan and Surin Islands, Phang-nga are some coral reefs after bleaching. Which is affected by the coastal population increased. Cause damage to natural resources is widespread.
Partly also because the temperature of the sea rising since mid-2553 as well as the volume of waste that is transferred into the water. And a diver or tourist overrun and coral damage. From a random survey found that coral reefs have been damaged from the impact of bleaching a lot. Especially in the areas of the North Surin Island. Mae Yai Bay north. Nearly all were damaged. Island communities, including Bath Spa Koh Ta Chai Koh Similan, etc.
However, it was found that the majority of the many coral islands in the Andaman Sea have been damaged. The only elements that are important tourist destinations such as Ko Phi Phi Don, Koh Phai, Koh Phi Phi Maya Bay, Long Beach, etc., which were a large number of dead corals and coral reefs have not found larvae emerging at all. Estimated that the damage would be severe than the damage from the tsunami, 6 years ago.
For this reason, the Director General, Department of Marine and Coastal. There are proposals to reduce the impact on coral reefs. Especially where there are tourists to dive a lot. But lack of understanding. Activities for tourists to fish along the reef. Cause fish to change behavior rather than eating food from tourists at the algae covered coral. As well as driving the boat did not improve the emissions into the reef. And to close the area from being used for any purpose. The coral reefs that need to be protected strictly.
While Mr. Sunan. Arun Nopparat National Park Department. This case revealed that Damage occurred to the coral reef. Would have to go down to the first survey. This provides a check to Phuket on 20 January this if they have a lot of damage. I need to close the park. The Similan Islands and Surin as Alan. To prevent more damage.
