Prof Sanit and TEI Team Return to Bang Lang Da

Thai national treasure and worldwide mangrove expert Prof Dr Sanit Aksornkoae from Thailand Environment Institute (TEI) and Kasesart University kindly came back to Bang Lang Da to monitor the progress of the project. TEI was asked by the funder APFED to oversee this EMR project and had been to BLD on 14th June, 2009. So it was a pleasure to welcome them again. As expected Prof Sanit had many insightful comments, questions and was very happy with the progress. As before, the TEI team took great interest in the activities of the whole village and how they were getting on. So the meeting was joined by the BLD crab rearing / conservation team and the discussions broadened to other topics.Kindly, part of the TEI team visited the night before (below) to document the activities and technical details. Therefore most of the work could be discussed in the shade of Bang Dol's house, rather than slopping through the mud in 34 degree heat.
Thank you to the whole TEI team for your visit, thoughts and support.
