Bryde’s whales and dolphins appearing more often in Surat Thani

 

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - Due to the absence of tourism, natural resources in Thailand have been regenerating. In Surat Thani, both whales and dolphins are appearing more frequently than ever before.

 

Director of Marine and Coastal Resources Office 4 Surat Thani, Mr. Maitree Saengariyanan together with related officers and local residents and fishermen, have installed artificial fish habitats among coral reefs near Koh Tao of Surat Thani province, as well as discussed solutions to eliminate illegal fishing equipment.

 

During the fish habitat installation, officers witnessed at least two Bryde’s whales near the coral reef, while local fishermen spotted four dolphins swimming alongside their fishing boats.

 

This event is a reflection of the regeneration of Thai ocean resources, as Bryde’s whales, and dolphins are rare creatures and protected species.

 

It is also expected that these sea creatures will appear more often as tourism remains missing due to COVID-19.

Lots more wildlife around and on the islands.

The good - whales, dolphins, turtles, sting rays, monitor lizards, squirrels etc.

The not so good - snakes, snakes and more snakes. (They are OK really!)

Been coming to Thailand for nearly 30 years and at one time used to live here in the forrest south in Phuket,but so far I have only seen snakes only 3 times .I must have some natural snake repellent built in me.

Great to see that wildlife is starting to flourish again ???? !
