Thailand’s Coral Reefs
Nature Under Threat

This book combines a readable look at the natural history of the reef with an account of the natural and human pressures on this amazing ecosystem. Armchair readers may be surprised to find themselves suddenly interested in learning to dive.

Thailand is presented as a case study, with a look at what measures were being undertaken locally, at the time of writing, to conserve what is, together with the tropical rainforest, one of the two richest ecosystems in the world.

Thailand’s Coral Reefs also includes a mini-field guide to the marine organisms that together make up the reef community.
