Three videos on how sea people contribute to the conservation and management of coastal resources in Thailand (EN/TH) - NEA InitiativeNEA Initiative

Thailand launched its National Ecosystem Assessment in 2021 and developed a dedicated working group on Indigenous and local knowledge. The assessment focuses on marine and coastal ecosystems. The assessment team is working with coastal Indigenous and local knowledge holders to ensure the assessment is informed by all available knowledge.

The Thailand National Ecosystem Assessment team developed three videos based on the field activities organised in 2022 to showcase how sea people contribute to the conservation and management of coastal resources. Click the link below to access the video:
