"I believe discussions with fishermen over a wider area will lead us to discover even more important reefs, not yet mapped or protected by the authorities" said Songpol Tippayawong, head of the WWF Thailand Marine and Coastal Conservation Unit, in a statement.

"This reef is easily accessible to dive operators from nearby Khao Lak, and if managed properly can become a prominent local dive site while also contributing an important source of income to the local community," he said.



so this means they are going to start collecting there? or just running dive tours on it?

pretty cool that they found something like that- amazing there are still so many things on this planet that we haven't found yet!
