Unprecedented Plankton Bloom in Thailand’s Gulf Threatens Marine Life and Fisheries
An extraordinary plankton bloom off Thailand’s eastern coast is triggering concerns of a marine “dead zone,” posing a serious threat to local mussel farmers. The Gulf of Thailand is witnessing plankton levels over ten times the norm, turning the water vibrant green and decimating marine life. These blooms, usually brief, can unleash toxins and deplete oxygen and sunlight, harming the environment. In Chonburi, renowned for mussel farming, over 80% of nearly 300 plots are impacted, causing substantial losses for fishermen like Suchat Buwat, whose earnings have dropped by more than 500,000 baht ($14,000). Pollution and rising sea temperatures linked to climate change are suspected culprits behind this unprecedented event, emphasizing the need for sustainable resource management and climate action.
