webfact Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 By Namo Vananupong BANGKOK (NNT) - The government is proceeding with conservation and management efforts for marine mammals by enforcing regulations that are in line with international practices, to prevent negative effects on Thai seafood exports. Deputy Prime Minister Gen. Prawit Wongsuwon presided over a meeting of the National Fishery Committee, which gave an endorsement to urgent projects for the conservation and management of marine mammals, in principle. The projects seek to bring Thailand’s conservation and management practices in line with American laws for the protection of marine mammals, to nurture confidence that Thailand’s conservation efforts are in line with global principles and international obligations. The meeting also followed up on progress in addressing the impact of the fishery on marine mammals. Representatives of various agencies at the meeting were told to prevent the issue of marine mammals from affecting Thailand’s seafood exports, promote legal fishing activities, and vigorously drive projects for the conservation of marine mammals. Furthermore, the meeting acknowledged progress in establishing a 4-point policy to drive fishery development in 2023 and 2024. The policy calls for mechanisms to address fishery development in Thai waters, fishery-related problems outside of Thai waters, domestic aquaculture, and the development of fishery downstream industries. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-11-22 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll believe it when I see it in action, when it gets past the "talk stage". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 they have been saying this for years but just ignore it, anything thai fisherman catch in their nets is kept unless they are being watched, getting them to release anything that is edible in some shape or form is virtually impossible. These people/the govt simply make statements then do nothing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 What a load of hypocritical Oafs. Only 2 days ago the Authorities continued to allow fishing within an area frequented by Irrawadi Dolpins, of which there are only 14 still in existence ( If i read the report correctly ). A critically endangered species that will be wiped out very soon. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiSoLowSoNoSo Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) They can't even stop the big trawlers using bottom nets and fish attracting lights between the islands in the Similan national marine park. Most of the fishing fleets are owned by men in uniform and untouchable. Edited November 22, 2021 by HiSoLowSoNoSo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
