- Mr. Chinnakorn Thongchai, a scientist of The Center for Scientific and Technological Equipment Walailak University together with Marine and Coastal Resources Research Center (Lower Andaman Sea), participated an aerial survey to study the population and distribution of marine endangered animals on 1-5 March 2022 in Krabi. A line transect sampling method was used during flying over Krabi Islands with a volunteer pilot, Mr. Eduardo Angelo Loigorri while boat survey with an unmanned aerial vehicle (Drone) was over Koh Pu, Koh Sriboya, and nearby islands.
- The preliminary survey found 22 dugongs (3 mother-calf pairs), and 74 sea turtles. It was found that the dugong behaved grazing on sea grasses and mating. Moreover, the number of mother-calf pairs indicates the increasing dugong population in this area. In addition, this increasing trend is also shown in sea turtles.
- So we have collected the impressive images as the link below.
