PHUKET: National parks chiefs in Phuket and Phang Nga are calling for hotels and other beachfront businesses to join a campaign to create turtle preservation zones to protect turtle eggs being laid along west-coast beaches.

 

Prarop Plangngarn, Chief of “Operations Center 2” at Sirinath Marine National Park, on Phuket’s northwest coast, and Haritchai Rittichuay, Chief of the Khao Lampi – Hat Thai Mueang National Park, north of Phuket in Phang Nga province, along with other nature and environmental protection officers decided at a meeting last month to survey areas where the zones would be most appropriate – namely in the areas adjacent to the two national parks.

 

“Presently, there are only a few areas that are suitable for turtles to lay their eggs because of the continual expansion of human communities and the tourism industry,” Mr Prapop told The Phuket News.
