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.
