The Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has prepared the National Strategies on the Management and Prevention of Coastal Erosion in 2008 with missions to prevent the natural coastal areas from erosion problems, to solve and recover the eroded coasts, and to build up awareness and participation of all concerned stakeholders in order to effectively and sustainably manage, prevent and solve problems concerning with coastal erosion. The guidelines and measures in preventing and managing the coastal erosion are shown as follows:
Development and improvement of database on coastal area to use as a decision-making tool for planning and operation
Survey and collect data concerned with characteristics of coasts all over the country as well as continuously gather data regarding the coastal changes
Systematically collect and generate the database concerning the economic, social, and environmental data of the coastal community, especially, in the critical and high risk areas.
Produce up-to-date and standard databases which can process and illustrate the situation of coastal area of Thailand, are applied for coastal management in the critical and high risk areas.
Participation in the management, prevention, and solving the coastal erosion
ncrease efficiency in public relations, understanding on the coastal erosion and its managements.
Enhance capabilities of agencies, institutes, and those concerned with the coastal erosion problems.
Preparation of master plan and/or strategic plan on the integrated management of the coastal erosion
Provide opportunities for all concerned parties to participate in decision making, planning and other processes. Those help them to understand the further impacts that might be occurred, and making connection among parties for collaborative implementation, leading to goal achievement.
Establish the plan for integrated management of coastal area covering all coastal provinces and produce the strategic plan for the areas where the coastal erosion is highly intensified and management is urgently required. The plan should be related to the national policies, strategies, and National Plan for Environmental and Natural Resource Management
Preventing, Mitigating, and recovering the coastal area
Specify and classify the coastal areas that have the erosion problems or tend to be affected in the future. It is useful for selecting any protective measures that are appropriate for each area.
Establish the strategic and implementation plans with local organizations and local stakeholders.
Mitigate and recover the coastal areas, affected by coastal erosion, to their naturally-original balances or potential that can serve the services for economic and social development.
Protect the areas along the coast that are risky to be eroded by conserving natural resources, preserving the coastal ecosystems, and appropriate economic development in the area for sustainable utilization of coastal areas.
Development of the systems to monitor, examine, and control the implementation of management and protection of coastal erosion
Improve and revise the existing and relevant laws to be appropriate and efficient for its enforcement, especially in the critical and urgent area.
Specify aggressive measures in following up and monitoring the situation of coastal changes, and prepare the evaluation system for the implementation of the coastal erosion management.

The Marine archaeological areas are established in order to provide protection for marine cultural places such as sunken ships, shipwrecks, lighthouses, bridges and ports etc., by virtue of the Archaeological Sites, Antiques, Artifacts and National Museums Act, B.E. 2504. This act emphasizes on the announcement of such archeological areas and their management and administration.
Thailand has announced the Marine archaeological areas, such as the Notifications of the Ministry of Education, dated 8 November, 1974 on determining the areas in the localities of Chonburi where finding any ancient objects or Artifacts are prohibited. The notification announced under the Archaeological Sites, Antiques, Artifacts and National Museums Act, B.E. 2504 (Anuwat, BE 2551).

The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance as Waterfowl Habitat or Ramsar Convention was established for the collaborations among countries’ members for the conservation and eradication of the ecological loss of wetland, the promotion of the wise uses of wetlands. The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance as Waterfowl Habitat or Ramsar Convention is effective in December, 1975; currently there are associate members from 160 countries (http://www.ramsar.org/cda/en/ramsar-about-parties-contracting-parties-to-23808 /main/ramsar/1-36-123%5E23 808_4000_0_ ) . Currently, 1,947 Ramsar sites were registered covering 1.90 square kilometer, approximately half of the area is in coastal areas which coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds are included (Anuwat, B.E. 2551).
Wetland means the geographic characteristics of plain, low land, water-saturated area, flooding area, inundated area, swamp, marsh; such areas are whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish, or marine water. Wetland covers the coastal area and sea floor, the depth of which at low tide does not exceed 6 meters.
