Impact of oil spill at Ko Samet by small-scale fishermen: Group leader and member of fishers group gave an information on situation of small-scale fisheries in Rayong after oil spill that

-          Fishermen, who get direct impact from oil spill, requested reparation from Petroleum Authority of Thailand 2,000 Baht per day for 2 months,

-          Need Petroleum Authority of Thailand/Government present the reparation to coastal community plan, if oil spill again in the future.

Information from Government concern on oil spill at Ko Samet: After oil spill on 27 July 2013 at Ko Samet, Phe Sub-District, Muang District, Rayong Province, Rayong Provincial Governor were coordinator between stakeholder along coastline of Rayong and Petroleum Authority of Thailand.  The stakeholder are fishermen (who have fishing boat), resort owner, tourist, restaurant and service (rental boat, rental car, etc).  There are about 10,000 persons of stakeholder, who applied attention to get reparation, and about 4,000 persons of that amount is boat’s owner.

On August, PPT gave the first payment of reparation to 2,000 fishermen (30,000 Baht per one fishing boat), who have fishing boat, but small-scale fisheries association of Rayong sent 4,000 fishermen to get reparation.  In the list of Fisheries Provincial have 2,000 fishing boat (commercial and small-scale fisheries). So PPT stopped to pay reparation, and need to verify on boat’s owner before payment.

Now there are problem between government and small-scale fishermen. Small-scale fishermen, who get direct impact from oil spill, need to register their boat with Fisheries Provincial to get reparation but they must be waiting for verifying by PPT before payment reparation. Meanwhile commercial fisheries, who not get direct impact but their boat have registration and license with Rayong Fisheries Provincial, get reparation already.
