Pol. Lt. Gen. Praphan Chan-aem, Director of the Sirindhorn International Environmental Park, noted that the park is committed to restoring the natural environment of Rama VI Camp in line with royal initiatives.
"The blue crab release activity is a vital part of marine and environmental conservation. Today, we constantly harvest marine life for food. If we only consume without considering the replenishment of marine populations, species such as blue crabs and sea crabs, which are widely consumed, are at high risk of extinction. Conservation efforts to increase marine animal populations are essential to prevent the disappearance of blue crabs from Thai seas," said the Director.
The crabs released during the event were 20–25 days old and capable of self-feeding. They were sourced from a nursery and breeding center and released into mangrove areas, which serve as natural habitats and breeding grounds for blue crabs and other marine life.
"I encourage everyone to participate in releasing marine species to promote conservation and restore the abundance of marine resources, which are vital to Thailand's biodiversity," he added.
