Marine Dept suspends Chalathat-Samila beach sandbank project 

By Thai PBS

 

 

The Marine Department has suspended the 269-million-baht project to build a sandbank on the Chalathat-Samila beach in the Songkhla Municipality to prevent coastal erosion.

 

The department decided to suspend the multi-million baht project after finding that the sand has been washed back into the sea by strong waves as a result of the northeast monsoon.

 

The suspension halted the work of a number of machines, including sand suckers, along the 9-kilometre stretch of Chalathat-Samila beach.
