The initiative is dedicated to fulfilling the Royal initiatives to conserve and 
restore Thailand’s marine resources. After the opening ceremony, participants traveled
to the world-renowned Maya Bay to engage in hands-on restoration efforts, including
planting coastal trees to rehabilitate the shoreline ecosystem and installing mooring
buoys. These buoys serve to organize maritime tourism and prevent anchor damage 
to sensitive coral reefs.

This collaborative effort highlights the commitment of government agencies, the 
private sector, educational institutions, and civil society to ensuring the long-
term sustainability of Krabi’s natural heritage.
