PHUKET: The Phuket offices of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) and the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMRC) will launch a joint campaign in the hope of greatly reducing the number of turtles being washed up on Phuket’s beaches either dead or seriously injured.

 

The news broke yesterday (Sept 25) at a meeting attended by DMCR Phuket office Director Watcharin Thintalang and MNRE Phuket office Director Natawan Jumlongkat.

 

Presiding over the meeting was Phuket Vice Governor Thawornwat Khongkaew, who made plain his intention that something must be done about turtles being washed up injured or dying at local beaches, mainly Thai Muang Beach in Phang Nga and Mai Khao Beach in northern Phuket.
