Results
After SEAFDEC team informed Mr. Vuthichai Wangkha-art, Director of
CMDEC, the background of SEAFDEC-RIHN project and objective of this trip, we met
the head of fisher group and discussed on the interviewing plan. In addition, the
team visited Leam Rung Ruang fisher group. We met vice leader group, Ms.
Somsri, she gave us more information that small-scale fisheries of this group mostly
from Rayong Province and moved to Leam Rung Ruang coastal area for fishing. Therefore,
their hometown is in city and the second house is in Leam Rung Ruang area. The main
fishing gear is blue swimming crab gill net. At Kon Puk fisher group, we could interview
only a few fishers because most of them went to the sea for squid jigging, main
fishing gear, and would come back in the next 4-5 days.

In addition, the
team visited one landing site on squid, which some squid castnet fishing boats
are belong to Pak Nam Ban Rao fisher group. There were no any fishers there because
some fishers stay at home and some fishers went to Prachuap Kiri Khan or
Chumphon Provinces, the southern part of Thailand, for fishing after opening the
closed season.
