Under a project initiated by Thailand's queen in 2002, everything from concrete pillars to old rail cars have been dumped at 47 sites in the waters off southern Thailand.
Fishery Department official Rangsan Chayakul said some 43 species of fish were now living around these artificial reefs, up from 15 species before.
"The reef will protect shallow-water fishermen from high waves and give them a good source of income," he told Reuters.
they do that in the states too...maybe they should should all those ruined cars in new orleans from katrina and that would keep the water out...
ReplyDeleteThey should use all of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction to build a massive reef ... oh hang on .....
