We need to monitor and document crab banks and need the support on the policy level to define a specific species management plan in order to allocate finances to support the groundwork,” said Kritsana Kaewplang, WWF-Thailand’s Sustainable Markets Project Manager. “I found that with all parties working together, which includes the researchers, corporations, the provincial Department of Fisheries staff, and the local fishermen, we collectively have very good ideas and are really keen to do the work. Issues are raised and discussed. This meeting definitely brings hope to the community. It is challenging, but together we can make the necessary changes.”
