August 30, 2023 - Klaeng, Rayong province. Apisak Tassanee talks to locals during a workshop. He founded the environmental group called “Beach for Life” which collects data about seawalls, relying on public information and accounts from local residents. His finding has alarmed many watchdogs and experts: at least 125 seawalls have been built since 2015, the year the group began its tracking.
Locals, including fishermen and vendors who live close to this beach, have come to listen during an activity to learn how to measure the rate of erosion. A local organization who focuses on advocating for the protection of beaches provides this educational outreach across the country organizing workshops in beachside communities. They teach local residents ways to track the extent of erosion in their areas throughout the years – to counter any possible attempts by the authorities to use seasonal erosion as a scare tactic to sell a seawall – as well as basic knowledge in how to protect their local maritime environment.
