The Wider Image: Sharks, tourists jostle for space around Thai

Wizchayuth Limungkoon, 41, a former ranger and current team member of the Maya Shark Watch Project, prepares to get into the water to pick up cameras installed at their baited remote underwater video station, in Maya Bay at the Phi Phi Island National Park, on Phi Phi Leh Island, Krabi province, Thailand February 25, 2023. The Maya Shark Watch Project use underwater cameras and drones to count sharks and observe their behaviour, feeding areas, and breeding patterns. In the year between November 2021, when they initiated a pilot study, and the end of 2022, they noticed a decrease in the number of sharks as tourists gradually returned to Maya Bay.
