Maya Bay reports record 278 blacktip reef sharks during annual closure
Today 09:20Key points summarised by AI
Marine researchers recorded a record 278 adult blacktip reef sharks in Maya Bay during its annual closure, indicating strong ecological recovery.
The bay's annual closure from August to September minimizes human disturbance, creating a vital sanctuary for marine life to regenerate and thrive.
This high-density shark sighting serves as a key indicator of Maya Bay's improving ecological health and safety, supported by comprehensive marine surveys.
Survey data, collected using drones and underwater video, will be used to refine visitor management protocols and establish long-term population tracking for the national park.

The family of Pol Lt-Col Kittikarn Saengboon, a police officer killed during a stand-off, is seeking justice from the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG), alleging police used excessive force.
The family pointed to extensive bullet damage on Kittikarn's house, suggesting police treated him as a criminal suspect rather than a mentally-troubled individual they were trying to disarm.
