Under the profound leadership of Director General Pinsak Suraswadi, the DMCR embarked on an expansive mission to rejuvenate coral life, one bleached reef at a time. Since April of last year, an alarming revelation surfaced: 60-80% of coral in Thailand’s waters were feeling the searing effects of bleaching. The primary villain in this drama? Rising sea temperatures, which played the role of a formidable antagonist, causing stress to the coral and forcing them to cast out their beautiful, colorful partners, the zooxanthellae algae. This separation leaves the coral pale and vulnerable, painted white with strain. However, the coral has made a triumphant comeback. Thanks to remarkable conservation efforts, a solid 60% of these underwater gardens…
