Patcharapol Panrak
More than 300 people came ashore on Koh Khram to plant coral and clean
the beach as the Royal Thai Navy’s First Naval Command launched an
environmental-preservation effort for the island.
Vice Adm. Rungsak Saereesawad opened the Nov. 26 event on the island best
known as a breeding ground for endangered sea turtles. Taking part were
workers from nearby Vinithai Co., IRPC Co., Glow Group, and Chevron Thailand
Exploration and Production Co., as well as university students and scuba
divers.
Event leader Capt. Chumnan Phuangphet said the FNA’s campaign is aimed at
raising environmental awareness. Participants laid new coral buds, cleaned
the beach and did other landscaping to beautify the island.
Rungsak said that, apart from defending the country, the FNA’s mission is to
protect the marine environment as it is the source of food, labor, tourism
and transportation for the country.
