Thailand Case Study - Artificial Reefs as a Fishery Management Tool: A Social-Ecological Assessment in the Gulf of Thailand. In: Challenges in Tropical Coastal Zone Management - Experiences and Lessons Learned
Thailand’s coral reefs not only attract a wealth of tourists, contributing to the national economy but also provide a significant revenue through the fisheries sector, as well as playing an important social, economic and nutritional role for local coastal communities. However, as with most coral reefs around the world, these are being severely degraded due to overfishing, destructive fishing practices, eutrophication, coastal development, and pollution. This has affected Thailand’s fishing sector, with both commercial and small-scale fishing showing a declining trend since 2002. Since 1978, Thailand has been deploying artificial reefs to compensate for these losses and as a tool to strengthen coastal habitats and small-scale fisheries, in both the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea.
