Program Overview

Along Thailand’s Andaman coast, dugongs depend on seagrass meadows to survive. This program works to keep those meadows healthy. Opened in 2025, it's the newest program here. You'll survey seagrass on foot and by snorkel, restore mangroves, and sample microplastics for university research. As one of the first volunteers, you'll help set the baseline data.
