According to the Royal Thai Navy officers, this island is one of the country’s three islands under the “Pilot Project” promotional campaign for preserving the coral. Around the island there are coral reef rehabilitation areas, which will then be relocated. This task of relocation was made possible by the cooperation between the naval officers and academics from institutes concerned with further study on the growing of more varieties of coral. The reefs are now the habitat of fish, oysters, and other seas animals.
