.......................................................
During the internship in koh chang,. Not only
train in the Resort and Diving school but also there is one another good
activity that I have done with my friend before go back to Bangkok. It is – we
participate the lecture and workshop with lecturers who come from The Department Of Marine And Coastal
Resources.
In a topic of The conservation Thailand’s ocean of
ASEAN by Dive Master under Green Fin project. On the 6th-7th
April at The Emerald Cove Resort, Koh Chang, Trat province.
When I see a time table I don’t really feel
interested because it is too technical matter to learn till I see Diving on the
second day. So, in the end feel a little bit wanna go.
“Reef is Plant or animal, what do you think
?” The first question
from lecturer. “Who is thinking that Reef is plant please raise your hand up”
I raise my hand highly.
“And the answer is……………………..Reefs is animal”
When I hear the answer, my eyes raise
one's eyebrows. Oh my god, joining today isn’t normal.
According to this answer reef is animal that is
different for each kind. Moreover some of them can move. OMG ! I have never known it before.
Not only reef’s types that they tell us but also
types of fish. They make the resources awareness
to us. For example, littering I think me
and you also think that, just only a little or small garbage won’t affect to
animals. It may not be anyone faults. But the animals are effected by the small
garbage. Ex. Hermit crab is died by
broken bottle because it can’t protect them from the heat and other animal that
died because of the garbage.
So, Did you get your answer? Small garbage won’t
affect to animals, right?
The time for major activity come that is talking
about Reef watch. The simplest explanation is survey coral reef(Do they still
health?), make a note, monitor and send the information
back to data base. For find the way to manage them in the
future. We are divided into two groups. One goes to Hin Rab nort, another one
go to Hin Sam Sao.
Thank a lot to my 4 times diving experience (look
like so many times, lol just kidding) it make me feel like my buoyancy control
become better than every last dive. Buoyancy control is very important skill.
if you can’t control it well, diving for reef watch won’t be a useful.
After we are finish survey and come to the survey
I don’t dare to say that I didn’t see
any death reef because this is my first for reef watch and I afraid of the
fault. But in the end diving from department Of Marine And Coastal Resources
say reef here is abundant, no death reef. This is really fortunately. When we
arrive at hotel, we make a small buddy discussion for the nearest best answer.
And the last process is filling the answer to database
Finally we are all would like to say really thank
you for this coming with the good new knowledge and diving or doing activity
together all day. We are really impressive and really happy to join these 2
days. It is one
memorable experience for us. And I’d
like to tell you, try to find the information or contact to the Department Of
Marine And Coastal Resources for ask the information from them about reef
watch, you will be another power to take care our ocean reef and marine life.
