A study visit to the Crab Bank and the release of juvenile crabs back into the wild at the Small Fishing Group in front of Wat Komut, Chonburi Province.
On September 14, 2024, Mr. Siprai Bunyadet Secretary of the Office of Agricultural Economics, joined a field visit to study the Crab Bank project and participated in the release of juvenile crabs at the Small Fishing Group in front of Wat Komut, Chonburi Province.
Mr. Saneh Rattanasamnieng, Director of the Rayong Marine Fisheries Prevention and Suppression Center, welcomed the group and provided an introduction to the local fisheries community in Chonburi, as well as a model fishing community in the area. Mr. Panya Sara, a speaker from the group, gave a presentation on the history and management approach of the group.
The Small Fishing Group in front of Wat Komut, also known as the Blue Swimming Crab Bank, was established in 2021 with support from the Department of Fisheries and local organizations. The group currently has 20 members and focuses on breeding juvenile crabs to be released back into the wild. They accept donations of pregnant crabs and care for them to breed and restore the crab population to its natural abundance. This initiative addresses the rapid decline in crab numbers caused by increasing consumer demand, while also helping to restore the balance and richness of marine resources.
