National Park officers are investigating following the death of a blacktip reef shark found in a bag at Maya Bay at Koh Phi Phi Ley.

 

A foreign dive instructor at Phi Phi Island posted a picture of a blacktip reef shark found dead inside a bag in a LINE group ‘Phi Phi Island news informs’ with a message reading “a shark has found dead in a bag at Maya Bay.”

 

Chief of the Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Koh Phi Phi National Park, Worapot Lomlim, says, “We have been notified about this. I have ordered officers to investigate to see if the shark was caught or if it became stuck inside the bag by itself. A lot of blacktip reef sharks have been found in Maya Bay during the ongoing closure of the area.”

I just strongly believe we all have the great pollution and waste management to thank for this one.
