My guess is that they will appeal just to show how powerful they are.

Here is something of interest:

Thailand’s Maya Bay used to be a quiet cove teeming with marine life, visited by only a handful of tourists each day. Then came the 2000 film “The Beach” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, about a young American adventurer on an exotic island. By 2018, 5,000 tourists were visiting the bay, where the film had been shot, each day. Marine experts reported severe damage to the reef from boat anchors and snorkelers wearing sunscreen that contained a common chemical toxic to juvenile corals. Thailand’s national parks department announced that more than 50 percent of the bay’s corals showed signs of damage, prompting the agency to close Maya Bay indefinitely “until natural resources return to normal.”

Now what is funny, as I keep saying, these activist journalists ignore inconvenient facts. One of the links attaches say this:

Citing findings from a study by the team leading the rehabilitation operation, Mr Songtham said the chemicals in visitors' sunscreen products were the main factor in the destruction of corals.

"The chemicals cause corals to bleach. In the worst cases, they even paralyse or kill the corals," he said.

LOL... This article says sunscreen is the "main factor" but the journalist places sunscreen as the second item.

Your deep concern over the health of coral is noted.

The coral reef off Bowen, in North Queensland, is only dead to the 2,500 marine scientists who attended a conference in Cairns on 9th July 2012. That day, they were shown photographs of a mudflat ... and told that mud now covers what was once … [Read more...]
