PHUKET: Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong has called for new a public hearing to be held on a marina project on Phuket’s east coast after dire concerns have been raised over the devastating effect dredging a channel there may have on an aquatic field of corals nearby.

 

Governor Norraphat gave the order yesterday morning, before inspecting the corals in person yesterday afternoon (May 16).

 

Gov Norraphat also ordered Phuket Marine Office Chief Surat Sirisaiyat to investigate the potential damage that may be caused by the dredging and to report in detail about the project, the new B450 million Ao Kung Marina and sports complex in Pa Khlok.
