Is Marine life really coming back to the Gulf of Thailand ?–VIDEO

Marine animals are flourishing once again in the Gulf of Thailand due to the elimination of human waste. Through a collaboration of several sectors, tanks, trains, garbage trucks are no longer allowed to dump waste into the sea. The thriving marine life is expected to be tourist attractions in Pattani and Narathiwat provinces.

Pre-COVID-9, a significant number of tourists who were coming to visit Thailand’s 26 marine national parks increased dramatically, they mostly came from China.

Tour-guides and agency continued to keep up with the high demand, hordes of boats from various travel agencies would enter a prime location, all while scaring away the very same marine wildlife that tourists traveled so far to see.

During the last three years, however, the Thai government has been trying to solve the problem, to conserve nature, by limiting visitors or closing some once-pristine islands to the public. More recently, The COVID-19 outbreak has decimated the restaurant trade and wreaked havoc with food supply chains. Demand and prices have collapsed throughout Asia, home to some of the world’s largest seafood and fish markets. most ships are staying at the port.

The marine environment can only benefit from the reduced tourism and commercial fisherman out of business, however. While evidence of a recovery in marine life is still only a rumor, mammals such as killer whales, dolphins, and seals have been recorded in areas where they hadn’t been seen in decades, and that comes from a reliable source of marine biologists.

You can say It’s pretty evident that the sky is clearer due to less traffic, the streets are cleaner due to people eating less outdoors, and the animals are coming around more often due to things being less hectic than it normally is. But on the other hand, there are wishful and hopeful individuals that bend the truth a bit like this video below.
