Krabi adds buoys to protect corals

KRABI: In an effort to protect marine life, Krabi officials yesterday announced the installation of 16 additional buoys near popular tourist attractions.
“The purpose of the buoys is to mark the presence of coral reefs so that ships and boats can avoid anchoring there,” said Sarayuth Tanthien, chief of the Hat Noppharat Thara – Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park.
“The buoys have been installed near Koh Poda and Tup Island, two of the most recommended tourist areas in Krabi province.”
The new buoys will add to the 12 already installed in January, with plans to introduce 100 more throughout the province, Mr Sarayuth said.
