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

Wizchayuth Limungkoon, 41, and Jampon Khonthong, 38, team members of the Maya Shark Watch Project and Petch Manopavitr, 48, a marine life advisor to Thailand’s National Parks Department, eat corn as they wait to pick up the 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. “If you can create a new image of Maya Bay as a nature reserve … I think that is actually going to create a new tourism scheme as well and we (are) going to benefit from it overall,” said Petch.
