TD joins The Integrated Sea Farming Project
SEAFDEC/TD in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries of Thailand demonstrated the feasibility of an integrated sea farming project following the royal idea of Her Majesty the Queen Sirikit. The project site is located in Ban Laem District, Phetchaburi Province. The objectives of the project are: to develop a sea farm that would harmonize with the surrounding natural environment and to improve the fishing occupation of the fishermen in the area by introducing new technology and exchanging experiences in the project area. The preliminary duration of the project is for a period of two years. SEAFDEC will conduct in the sea farming project area raft rope experiment integrating floating rope cage for shellfish and sea grass culture. On 21 April 2009, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn privately visited the project area to follow up the progress and planning of the project implementation.
