Around 30 alligators have migrated from the shores of Trang and Krabi to areas near Rawai Beach, and Phuket is creating a working class.
Sophon Suwanrat, the governor of Phuket, convened a meeting on Wednesday with representatives from the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources ( DMCR ) to discuss how to care for the dugongs that have been emigrating to the area near Phuket’s southern and western coasts.
Together with the DMCR, we will establish a working class and a guard product. The Marine and Coastal Resources Office does map the alligators ‘ locations and fishing net-prohibited areas to prevent them from getting trapped in any baskets, he said.
The Marine Department, the Fisheries Department, and the Provincial Natural Resources and Environment Office will help inform the public, mainly fishing, tour operators and those who offer boat service, to be especially cautious in those places.
He urged the public to support the protection of the alligators, including all seaside fishermen, those who live along the coast, and those who live nearby.
A Line team called” Love Phuket Dugongs” may be established by the state. People can add and keep an eye on a dugong while it’s around the area.
The DMCR added that it will begin planting grass and looking for alternative food options for them. According to Mr. Sophon, the committee intends to construct enclosures in the sea to house tired dugongs.
Each orangutans may become named based on its physical qualities. Data will be recorded and tracked using the labels.
Due to the effects of climate change, the grass around Trang has been dying and rotting, making those alligators fly to our place for meals. Some alligators are so narrow you can even see their bones”, he noted.
Alligators are protected animals, according to DMCR director-general Pinsak Suraswadi, but their position is crucial because there are 33 fatalities in Thailand only this time.
As a result, cooperation is required to prevent the cattle and guarantee they are fed correctly, particularly in light of the grass lack, he added.
According to Mr. Pinsak,” we predicted that Trang and Krabi may have a limited supply of food sources for them” 4-5 months before.
Phuket and Phangnga are the two destinations where alligators can travel. He claimed that we are keeping an eye on where they go and how many people that are.
In order to promote cooperation and better protect them, he added,” We are also informing local people about the arrival of dugongs.”
