MiniVDO: Climate change with cold currents is reported to have caused damage to coral reefs at Hin Muang Hin Daeng near Krabi.

The climate change with cold currents in April is reported to have caused the deaths of marine animals like fish and damaged about 20 % of the coral reefs in certain spots in Krabi province’s part of the Andaman Sea. The provincial Natural Resources and Environment chief Arthit La-ead-dee pinpointed the damaged resources at the popular diving spot Hin Muang –Hin Daeng in Krabi. He however insisted that the damaged coral is still alive and needs around 3-6 months to revive or recover. He also called for divers or snorkellers especially to take great care and not touch the coral reefs when they dive down to appreciate the natural beauty of the marine resources.
